[threeten-dev] JapaneseDate DAY_OF_YEAR

[roger riggs]

Hi Stephen,

yes, we (Oracle) need to nail down the Japanese calendar details and get 
them corrected.
I've used JBS for some of these that seemed to be implementation bugs
and not directly related to the 310 spec.  But the bugs.sun.com 
visibility is poor.
Continuing to use Github is better for transparency of JSR 310.

I'll create an JBS issue for the commented out test cases.
As/if you discover other problems feel free to put them in Github.

Roger
