 * An abstract class for service providers that provide localized string
 * representations (display names) of {@code Calendar} field values.

 * <p><a name="calendartypes"><b>Calendar Types</b></a>
 *
 * <p>Calendar types are used to specify calendar systems for which the {@link
 * #getDisplayName(String, int, int, int, Locale) getDisplayName} and {@link
 * #getDisplayNames(String, int, int, Locale) getDisplayNames} methods provide
 * calendar field value names. See {@link Calendar#getCalendarType()} for details.

 * <p><b>Calendar Fields</b>
 *
 * <p>Calendar fields are specified with the constants defined in {@link
 * Calendar}. The following are calendar-common fields and their values to be
 * supported for each calendar system.

 *         stand-alone forms if required by the supported locales. If there's
