@AnaEliza Thank you for contributing this! I hope to review this soon, and form quick glance it makes sense.

One (and only) formality we have, before I can merge the patch, is to have a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) filled. It's a short document that affirms that contributor can make contribution under expected terms, and only needs to be filled once for all Jackson projects.
And it keeps legal folks happy (we wouldn't care otherwise) :)

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/blob/master/contributor-agreement.pdf

The usual way is to print it, fill & sign, scan and email to info at fasterxml.com.

Apologies for having to do this, but it really is just one-time thing.

Thank you once again for contributing the patch!

@cowtowncoder Hey! I just sent the CLA. Sorry for the huge delay!!!

[cowtowncoder]

@AnaEliza No problem, got it, will proceed with merging now.

Actually: I will make one change here -- instead of DeserializationFeature, I'll change this to MapperFeature to be consistent with existing MapperFeature.ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_PROPERTIES, so we'll have:

MapperFeature.ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_ENUMS

Change will be in 2.9.0.pr3

Mmm this will let me delete another wrapper class. Thanks.

How to use MapperFeature.ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_ENUMS with @jsonformat or similar annotation?

[cowtowncoder]

@nickmafra I think that would be by using JsonFormat.Feature.ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_VALUES; description suggests it works for Enums too. If not, could you file a new issue pointing out it does not?
