Suggest:  "The defined ** era’s {@link #getValue} ** is expected
  to have a consecutive integer associated with it.”

I suspect that the wording here has deliberately chosen, but I 
wonder if it could be tightened a little?

`values()` should return an array of eras whose values are in a
contiguous range, no? If so, can this be specified?
