+/**
+ * The <code>Calendar</code> class is an abstract class that provides methods
+ * for converting between a specific instant in time and a set of {@link
+ * #fields calendar fields} such as <code>YEAR</code>, <code>MONTH</code>,
+ * <code>DAY_OF_MONTH</code>, <code>HOUR</code>, and so on, and for
+ * manipulating the calendar fields, such as getting the date of the next
+ * week. An instant in time can be represented by a millisecond value that is
+ * an offset from the <a name="Epoch"><em>Epoch</em></a>, January 1, 1970
+ * 00:00:00.000 GMT (Gregorian).
+ *
+ * <p>The class also provides additional fields and methods for
+ * implementing a concrete calendar system outside the package. Those
+ * fields and methods are defined as <code>protected</code>.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Like other locale-sensitive classes, <code>Calendar</code> provides a
+ * class method, <code>getInstance</code>, for getting a generally useful
+ * object of this type. <code>Calendar</code>'s <code>getInstance</code> method
+ * returns a <code>Calendar</code> object whose
+ * calendar fields have been initialized with the current date and time:
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ *     Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * <p>A <code>Calendar</code> object can produce all the calendar field values
+ * needed to implement the date-time formatting for a particular language and
+ * calendar style (for example, Japanese-Gregorian, Japanese-Traditional).
+ * <code>Calendar</code> defines the range of values returned by
+ * certain calendar fields, as well as their meaning.  For example,
+ * the first month of the calendar system has value <code>MONTH ==
+ * JANUARY</code> for all calendars.  Other values are defined by the
+ * concrete subclass, such as <code>ERA</code>.  See individual field
+ * documentation and subclass documentation for details.
+ *
+ * <h4>Getting and Setting Calendar Field Values</h4>
+ *
+ * <p>The calendar field values can be set by calling the <code>set</code>
+ * methods. Any field values set in a <code>Calendar</code> will not be
+ * interpreted until it needs to calculate its time value (milliseconds from
+ * the Epoch) or values of the calendar fields. Calling the
+ * <code>get</code>, <code>getTimeInMillis</code>, <code>getTime</code>,
+ * <code>add</code> and <code>roll</code> involves such calculation.
+ *
+ * <h4>Leniency</h4>
+ *
+ * <p><code>Calendar</code> has two modes for interpreting the calendar
+ * fields, <em>lenient</em> and <em>non-lenient</em>.  When a
+ * <code>Calendar</code> is in lenient mode, it accepts a wider range of
+ * calendar field values than it produces.  When a <code>Calendar</code>
+ * recomputes calendar field values for return by <code>get()</code>, all of
+ * the calendar fields are normalized. For example, a lenient
+ * <code>GregorianCalendar</code> interprets <code>MONTH == JANUARY</code>,
+ * <code>DAY_OF_MONTH == 32</code> as February 1.
+
+ * <p>When a <code>Calendar</code> is in non-lenient mode, it throws an
+ * exception if there is any inconsistency in its calendar fields. For
+ * example, a <code>GregorianCalendar</code> always produces
+ * <code>DAY_OF_MONTH</code> values between 1 and the length of the month. A
+ * non-lenient <code>GregorianCalendar</code> throws an exception upon
+ * calculating its time or calendar field values if any out-of-range field
+ * value has been set.
+ *
+ * <h4>First Week</h4>
+ *
+ * <code>Calendar</code> defines a locale-specific seven day week using two
+ * parameters: the first day of the week and the minimal days in first week
+ * (from 1 to 7).  These numbers are taken from the locale resource data when a
+ * <code>Calendar</code> is constructed.  They may also be specified explicitly
+ * through the methods for setting their values.
+ *
+ * <p>When setting or getting the <code>WEEK_OF_MONTH</code> or
+ * <code>WEEK_OF_YEAR</code> fields, <code>Calendar</code> must determine the
+ * first week of the month or year as a reference point.  The first week of a
+ * month or year is defined as the earliest seven day period beginning on
+ * <code>getFirstDayOfWeek()</code> and containing at least
+ * <code>getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()</code> days of that month or year.  Weeks
+ * numbered ..., -1, 0 precede the first week; weeks numbered 2, 3,... follow
+ * it.  Note that the normalized numbering returned by <code>get()</code> may be
+ * different.  For example, a specific <code>Calendar</code> subclass may
+ * designate the week before week 1 of a year as week <code><i>n</i></code> of
+ * the previous year.
+ *
+ * <h4>Calendar Fields Resolution</h4>
+ *
+ * When computing a date and time from the calendar fields, there
+ * may be insufficient information for the computation (such as only
+ * year and month with no day of month), or there may be inconsistent
+ * information (such as Tuesday, July 15, 1996 (Gregorian) -- July 15,
+ * 1996 is actually a Monday). <code>Calendar</code> will resolve
+ * calendar field values to determine the date and time in the
+ * following way.
+ *
+ * <p>If there is any conflict in calendar field values,
+ * <code>Calendar</code> gives priorities to calendar fields that have been set
+ * more recently. The following are the default combinations of the
+ * calendar fields. The most recent combination, as determined by the
+ * most recently set single field, will be used.
+ *
+ * <p><a name="date_resolution">For the date fields</a>:
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ * YEAR + MONTH + DAY_OF_MONTH
+ * YEAR + MONTH + WEEK_OF_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK
+ * YEAR + MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK
+ * YEAR + DAY_OF_YEAR
+ * YEAR + DAY_OF_WEEK + WEEK_OF_YEAR
+ * </pre></blockquote>
+ *
+ * <a name="time_resolution">For the time of day fields</a>:
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ * HOUR_OF_DAY
+ * AM_PM + HOUR
+ * </pre></blockquote>
+ *
+ * <p>If there are any calendar fields whose values haven't been set in the selected
+ * field combination, <code>Calendar</code> uses their default values. The default
+ * value of each field may vary by concrete calendar systems. For example, in
+ * <code>GregorianCalendar</code>, the default of a field is the same as that
+ * of the start of the Epoch: i.e., <code>YEAR = 1970</code>, <code>MONTH =
+ * JANUARY</code>, <code>DAY_OF_MONTH = 1</code>, etc.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <strong>Note:</strong> There are certain possible ambiguities in
+ * interpretation of certain singular times, which are resolved in the
+ * following ways:
+ * <ol>
+ *     <li> 23:59 is the last minute of the day and 00:00 is the first
+ *          minute of the next day. Thus, 23:59 on Dec 31, 1999 &lt; 00:00 on
+ *          Jan 1, 2000 &lt; 00:01 on Jan 1, 2000.
+ *
+ *     <li> Although historically not precise, midnight also belongs to "am",
+ *          and noon belongs to "pm", so on the same day,
+ *          12:00 am (midnight) &lt; 12:01 am, and 12:00 pm (noon) &lt; 12:01 pm
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The date or time format strings are not part of the definition of a
+ * calendar, as those must be modifiable or overridable by the user at
+ * runtime. Use {@link DateFormat}
+ * to format dates.
+ *
+ * <h4>Field Manipulation</h4>
+ *
+ * The calendar fields can be changed using three methods:
+ * <code>set()</code>, <code>add()</code>, and <code>roll()</code>.</p>
+ *
+ * <p><strong><code>set(f, value)</code></strong> changes calendar field
+ * <code>f</code> to <code>value</code>.  In addition, it sets an
+ * internal member variable to indicate that calendar field <code>f</code> has
+ * been changed. Although calendar field <code>f</code> is changed immediately,
+ * the calendar's time value in milliseconds is not recomputed until the next call to
+ * <code>get()</code>, <code>getTime()</code>, <code>getTimeInMillis()</code>,
+ * <code>add()</code>, or <code>roll()</code> is made. Thus, multiple calls to
+ * <code>set()</code> do not trigger multiple, unnecessary
+ * computations. As a result of changing a calendar field using
+ * <code>set()</code>, other calendar fields may also change, depending on the
+ * calendar field, the calendar field value, and the calendar system. In addition,
+ * <code>get(f)</code> will not necessarily return <code>value</code> set by
+ * the call to the <code>set</code> method
+ * after the calendar fields have been recomputed. The specifics are determined by
+ * the concrete calendar class.</p>
+ *
+ * <p><em>Example</em>: Consider a <code>GregorianCalendar</code>
+ * originally set to August 31, 1999. Calling <code>set(Calendar.MONTH,
+ * Calendar.SEPTEMBER)</code> sets the date to September 31,
+ * 1999. This is a temporary internal representation that resolves to
+ * October 1, 1999 if <code>getTime()</code>is then called. However, a
+ * call to <code>set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 30)</code> before the call to
+ * <code>getTime()</code> sets the date to September 30, 1999, since
+ * no recomputation occurs after <code>set()</code> itself.</p>
+ *
+ * <p><strong><code>add(f, delta)</code></strong> adds <code>delta</code>
+ * to field <code>f</code>.  This is equivalent to calling <code>set(f,
+ * get(f) + delta)</code> with two adjustments:</p>
+ *
+ * <blockquote>
+ *   <p><strong>Add rule 1</strong>. The value of field <code>f</code>
+ *   after the call minus the value of field <code>f</code> before the
+ *   call is <code>delta</code>, modulo any overflow that has occurred in
+ *   field <code>f</code>. Overflow occurs when a field value exceeds its
+ *   range and, as a result, the next larger field is incremented or
+ *   decremented and the field value is adjusted back into its range.</p>
+ *
+ *   <p><strong>Add rule 2</strong>. If a smaller field is expected to be
+ *   invariant, but it is impossible for it to be equal to its
+ *   prior value because of changes in its minimum or maximum after field
+ *   <code>f</code> is changed or other constraints, such as time zone
+ *   offset changes, then its value is adjusted to be as close
+ *   as possible to its expected value. A smaller field represents a
+ *   smaller unit of time. <code>HOUR</code> is a smaller field than
+ *   <code>DAY_OF_MONTH</code>. No adjustment is made to smaller fields
+ *   that are not expected to be invariant. The calendar system
+ *   determines what fields are expected to be invariant.</p>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * <p>In addition, unlike <code>set()</code>, <code>add()</code> forces
+ * an immediate recomputation of the calendar's milliseconds and all
+ * fields.</p>
+ *
+ * <p><em>Example</em>: Consider a <code>GregorianCalendar</code>
+ * originally set to August 31, 1999. Calling <code>add(Calendar.MONTH,
+ * 13)</code> sets the calendar to September 30, 2000. <strong>Add rule
+ * 1</strong> sets the <code>MONTH</code> field to September, since
+ * adding 13 months to August gives September of the next year. Since
+ * <code>DAY_OF_MONTH</code> cannot be 31 in September in a
+ * <code>GregorianCalendar</code>, <strong>add rule 2</strong> sets the
+ * <code>DAY_OF_MONTH</code> to 30, the closest possible value. Although
+ * it is a smaller field, <code>DAY_OF_WEEK</code> is not adjusted by
+ * rule 2, since it is expected to change when the month changes in a
+ * <code>GregorianCalendar</code>.</p>
+ *
+ * <p><strong><code>roll(f, delta)</code></strong> adds
+ * <code>delta</code> to field <code>f</code> without changing larger
+ * fields. This is equivalent to calling <code>add(f, delta)</code> with
+ * the following adjustment:</p>
+ *
+ * <blockquote>
+ *   <p><strong>Roll rule</strong>. Larger fields are unchanged after the
+ *   call. A larger field represents a larger unit of
+ *   time. <code>DAY_OF_MONTH</code> is a larger field than
+ *   <code>HOUR</code>.</p>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * <p><em>Example</em>: See {@link java.util.GregorianCalendar#roll(int, int)}.
+ *
+ * <p><strong>Usage model</strong>. To motivate the behavior of
+ * <code>add()</code> and <code>roll()</code>, consider a user interface
+ * component with increment and decrement buttons for the month, day, and
+ * year, and an underlying <code>GregorianCalendar</code>. If the
+ * interface reads January 31, 1999 and the user presses the month
+ * increment button, what should it read? If the underlying
+ * implementation uses <code>set()</code>, it might read March 3, 1999. A
+ * better result would be February 28, 1999. Furthermore, if the user
+ * presses the month increment button again, it should read March 31,
+ * 1999, not March 28, 1999. By saving the original date and using either
+ * <code>add()</code> or <code>roll()</code>, depending on whether larger
+ * fields should be affected, the user interface can behave as most users
+ * will intuitively expect.</p>

+    // millis from the fields, and vice versa.  The data needed to do this
+    // conversion is encapsulated by a TimeZone object owned by the Calendar.
+    // The data provided by the TimeZone object may also be overridden if the
+    // user sets the ZONE_OFFSET and/or DST_OFFSET fields directly. The class
+    // keeps track of what information was most recently set by the caller, and
+    // uses that to compute any other information as needed.
+
+    // If the user sets the fields using set(), the data flow is as follows.
+    // This is implemented by the Calendar subclass's computeTime() method.
+    // During this process, certain fields may be ignored.  The disambiguation
+    // algorithm for resolving which fields to pay attention to is described
+    // in the class documentation.
