Hi All,

I am using the following code to set the date as 14th Oct, 1582.
Code :
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(1582, 9,14, 0, 0, 0);
System.out.println(cal.getTime());
OutPut :
Sun Oct 24 00:00:00 COT 1582

The Gregorian Calendar is only valid from Oct 15, 1582 onwards (depending on
local rules). The preceding Julian calendar ended on Oct 4th and there are
no intervening days. Java's GregorianCalendar allows you to go from one to
the other. In one sense Oct 14th doesn't exist in the same way that April
31st doesn't exist. However, because your date looks like a Julian date,
Java converts it to the next most meaningful Gregorian date--it's 10 days
after October 4th. See the Gregorian Calendar javadocs for details.
