default value for field with enum type generates Java source with compiler error

When I generate Java source from a thrift file where I assign a default enum value, the compiler correctly interprets the thrift file, but the source it generates assigns an integer to an enum field, which is a compiler error.
A thrift file like this:

enum MyEnum {
MY_ENUM_VALUE=7
}
struct MyStruct {
1 : MyEnum myEnum = MY_ENUM_VALUE
}

generates a constructor that looks like this:

public MyStruct() {
   this.myEnum = 7
}

but it should generate this:

public MyStruct () {
   this.myEnum = MyEnum.MY_ENUM_VALUE
}
