Compiling and executing the code below with the computer date set to February 29
produces the following output:

DAYS IN FEB 1999 ARE = 31
DAYS IN FEB 2000 ARE = 31

Process leaptest finished

Whereas executing the code with the computer date set to any other "non-leap"
day produces the correct output:

DAYS IN FEB 1999 ARE = 28
DAYS IN FEB 2000 ARE = 29

Process leaptest finished

This behavior seems to hold for other leap and non-leap years as well.

System.out.println("DAYS IN FEB 1999 ARE = "
                        + c.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
c.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2000);
System.out.println("DAYS IN FEB 2000 ARE = " +
                         c.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    }
