Class GregorianChronology

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public final class GregorianChronology extends BasicGJChronology
Implements a pure proleptic Gregorian calendar system, which defines every fourth year as leap, unless the year is divisible by 100 and not by 400. This improves upon the Julian calendar leap year rule.

Although the Gregorian calendar did not exist before 1582 CE, this chronology assumes it did, thus it is proleptic. This implementation also fixes the start of the year at January 1, and defines the year zero.

GregorianChronology is thread-safe and immutable.
