I proposed Calendar.Builder as a vehicle for JSR310-to-Calendar 
conversions in addition to addressing the problem of lacking Calendar 
constructors/factories reported by a developer. But my conversion 
proposal wasn't well accepted within Oracle. So I proceeded with 
Calendar.Builder having no JSR 310 conversions. setInstant(Instant) was 
one of originally proposed methods which were all removed. I didn't 
change the method name because I wanted to avoid the famous naming 
confusion -- Time vs Date. That is, Calendar.getTime() returns a Date.
