java.lang.Object

net.time4j.engine.Chronology.Builder<T>

net.time4j.engine.CalendarFamily.Builder<T>

Type Parameters:

T - generic type of time context

Enclosing class:

CalendarFamily<T extends CalendarVariant<T>>

public static final class CalendarFamily.Builder<T extends CalendarVariant<T>>
extends Chronology.Builder<T>

Creates a builder for a new calendar family and will only be used during loading a class of a calendar variant in a static initializer.

Instances of this class will be created by the static factory method setUp().
