Basically is it possible to keep list inside Enum ?

Define like below, Since Enums are constant, you need to pass your array list in compilation time.

public enum SomeEnum{
  String name;
  ArrayList data;

SomeEnum(String name, ArrayList data) {
  this.name = name;
  this.data=data;
}

  ADDRESS("someData", new ArrayList()); // pass your arraylist here
}

Yes, Enum is just like a class. It can have attribute and methods.
