Class BuddhistChronology

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable
    public final class BuddhistChronology
extends AssembledChronology
    A chronology that matches the BuddhistCalendar class supplied by Sun.

    The chronology is identical to the Gregorian/Julian, except that the year is offset by +543 and the era is named 'BE' for Buddhist Era.

    This class was intended by Sun to model the calendar used in Thailand. However, the actual rules for Thailand are much more involved than this class covers. (This class is accurate after 1941-01-01 ISO).

    This chronology is being retained for those who want a same effect replacement for the Sun class. It is hoped that community support will enable a more accurate chronology for Thailand, to be developed.

    BuddhistChronology is thread-safe and immutable.
