/**
 * This class is an abstract base class for Calendars, which can be
 * used to convert between <code>Date</code> objects and a set of
 * integer fields which represent <code>YEAR</code>,
 * <code>MONTH</code>, <code>DAY</code>, etc.  The <code>Date</code>
 * object represents a time in milliseconds since the Epoch. <br>
 * 
 * This class is locale sensitive.  To get the Object matching the
 * current locale you can use <code>getInstance</code>.  You can even provide
 * a locale or a timezone.  <code>getInstance</code> returns currently
 * a <code>GregorianCalendar</code> for the current date. <br>
 *
 * If you want to convert a date from the Year, Month, Day, DayOfWeek,
 * etc.  Representation to a <code>Date</code>-Object, you can create
 * a new Calendar with <code>getInstance()</code>,
 * <code>clear()</code> all fields, <code>set(int,int)</code> the
 * fields you need and convert it with <code>getTime()</code>. <br>
 *
 * If you want to convert a <code>Date</code>-object to the Calendar
 * representation, create a new Calendar, assign the
 * <code>Date</code>-Object with <code>setTime()</code>, and read the
 * fields with <code>get(int)</code>. <br>
 *
 * When computing the date from time fields, it may happen, that there
 * are either two few fields set, or some fields are inconsistent.  This
 * cases will handled in a calendar specific way.  Missing fields are
 * replaced by the fields of the epoch: 1970 January 1 00:00. <br>
 *
 * To understand, how the day of year is computed out of the fields
 * look at the following table.  It is traversed from top to bottom,
 * and for the first line all fields are set, that line is used to
 * compute the day. <br>
 *
 * <pre>
 * month + day_of_month
 * month + week_of_month + day_of_week
 * month + day_of_week_of_month + day_of_week
 * day_of_year
 * day_of_week + week_of_year
 * </pre>
 * 
 * The hour_of_day-field takes precedence over the ampm and
 * hour_of_ampm fields. <br>
 *
 * <STRONG>Note:</STRONG> This can differ for non-Gregorian calendar. <br>
 *
 * To convert a calendar to a human readable form and vice versa,  use
 * the <code>java.text.DateFormat</code> class. <br>
 * 
 * Other useful things you can do with an calendar, is
 * <code>roll</code>ing fields (that means increase/decrease a
 * specific field by one, propagating overflows), or
 * <code>add</code>ing/substracting a fixed amount to a field.
 *
