Are you drunk again? (=

  It does understand leap years.

2004 is a leap year.  which means 2/29/04 is a valid date. which means
2/29/03 is not.

so, with lenient(true)  2/29/03 -> 3/1/03,  2/29/04 -> 2/29/04
     with lenient(false)  2/29/03 -> exception;   2/29/04 -> 2/29/04

That's the purpose of lenient.

I don't have time for frivolous exercises, but seeing how easy it is to
accommodate leap years, I would be shocked to find this functionality
missing from Calendar.  What is the point of setLenient() if Calendar cannot
tell the diff between leap and non-leap years?

Try it and find out for yourself. It does produce 3/1/2003.

What makes you say that?  Why would Calendar make 2/29 3/1?

Be carefull with that because if you set Feb 29, 2003 your date is going to
be March 1, 2003 and Calendar will not say a thing. You should probably fix
a birthdate validator.
