It was replaced by the <a href="cal_gregorian.html">Gregorian calendar on 1582-10-15. The Julian calendar defines a leap year as once every four years. This becomes inaccurate over time, to such an extent that by 1582, 10 days had to be 'lost' to correct the calendar. </p> <p> The Julian calendar is represented in Joda-Time by the Julian chronology. This chronology applies Julian rules for all time. Normally, a more accurate historic calendar is found by using the <a href="cal_gj.html">GregorianJulian chronology instead. </p> <p> References <ul> <li>Calendrical Calculations - Millenium Edition - ISBN 0521777526 <li>Wikipedia - Julian Calendar </ul> </p> </section> <section name="Using Julian chronology in Joda-Time"> <p> Within Joda-Time the Julian calendar system can be used by obtaining an instance of <a href="apidocs/org/joda/time/chrono/JulianChronology.html">JulianChronology. This is normally created using the factory method <a href="apidocs/org/joda/time/chrono/JulianChronology.html#getInstance()">JulianChronology.getInstance(). This is then passed into the constructors of the main date and time classes. </p> <source> // setup date object for the Battle of Hastings in 1066 Chronology chrono = JulianChronology.getInstance(); DateTime dt = new DateTime(1066, 10, 14, 10, 0, 0, 0, chrono); </source> </section> </body> </document> Other Java examples (source code examples)Here is a short list of links related to this Java cal_julian.xml source code file: |
