Eretz Yisrael and Yerushalayim Apps

I made another app, the Eretz Yisrael app, that allows you to verify my claims. The Eretz Yisrael calendar is equally old and equally authoritative as the "old" Hebrew calendar, hence the quotes. The app is in the public domain. Download the code here. The code differs only in one place from the "old" Hebrew calendar, it subtracts the 642 Chalakim of Aharon Ben Meir. That is, in technical terms, it implements:

public static Gauss gauss(int year, int n) {
return new Gauss (year, 0, 642);
}

As you can see, it has, focusing on Rosh Hashanah, a divergence from the usual calendar in 4683, 4683, and 4688. This is the direct reason of the dispute that erupted in 4681.

Finally, the "third Hebrew calendar" is naturally called the Yerushalayim calendar. In technical terms, is has the full treatment of the generational parameter n, and it has Ben-Meir shift of 642 Chalakim:

public static Gauss gauss(int year, int n) {
return new Gauss (year, n, 642);
}

For your perusal, I made this into the Yerushalayim app. The app is also in the public domain. Download the code here.
