[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-6647) Refactoring to consolidate different Calendar implementations

["Adrian Crum (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6647?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14900893#comment-14900893 ] 

Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-6647:
------------------------------------

ICU4J was chosen for 2 reasons:

1. Better calendar selection (Java has only 2 if I recall correctly).
2. Time zone data can be updated easily by downloading the latest library version (versus waiting for the next Java revision).

ICU4J is used as the default Calendar implementation in OFBiz. The java.util.Calendar class is used where an API requires one.

> This came up in reference to [6594|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6594]:
> Piere Smits: "Currently we are using 'import com.ibm.icu.util.Calendar' at various places. But we're also using 'java.util.Calendar' at other places.
> Better is it to make a choice for consistency."
> We should fisrt analyze the usage of different implementations and the impact of replacing one with the other (e.g. what's the difference of these implementations).
