#2 Do not use enum for japanese eras

[Anonymous]

Japanese eras change often (one for each emperor), let's say every 100 years. Well, that is a lot, but nothing like AC / BC. I dont think it is desirable to get a new era only by updating a JVM. Mainly in corporate environments, that is not trivial. I suggest some updatable mechanism like the one used for DST.

PS: I posted here because I could not post anywhere else.

Yes, I noticed that recently. An enum isn't right here.
