Hi Venkat,
Such an export is not natively possible in Mendix. What you can do is prepare a helper entity "EnumValuesHelper"with one string attribute e.g. "caption". Then you can use the following code inside a java action to get all the captions for that paricular enum.
 

List<IMendixObject> res = new ArrayList<IMendixObject>();
for ( ENU_MyFirstEnum e : ENU_MyFirstEnum.getClass.values() ) {
	EnumValuesHalper temp = new EnumValuesHalper(getContext());
	temp.setCaption(e.getCaption());
	res.add(temp.getMendixObject());
}
return res;

Finally you can include the EnumValueHelper objects  the same way you would export any other entity.

Hope this helps,

Andrej
