      If we add 12 months or 1 year to Feb-29-1996 we should obtain the same results.
      But products are different.

      Here is the test demonstrating the bug:
      ------------- Test.java -----------
      import java.util.*;

      public class Test {
          public static void main (String args[]){
            GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(1996, 1, 29);
            System.out.println("init date: " + calendar.getTime());
            System.out.println();
            calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, 12);
            Date date1 = calendar.getTime();
            System.out.println("after adding 12 months: " + date1);
            calendar = new GregorianCalendar(1996, 1, 29);
            calendar.add(Calendar.YEAR, 1);
            Date date2 = calendar.getTime();
            System.out.println("after adding one year : " + date2);
            if (date1.equals(date2)) {
              System.out.println("Test passed");
            } else {
              System.out.println("Test failed");
            }
          }
      }
      ---------Output from the test---------------------
      init date: Thu Feb 29 00:00:00 GMT+03:00 1996

      after adding 12 months: Fri Feb 28 00:00:00 GMT+03:00 1997
      after adding one year : Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT+03:00 1997
      Test failed
