Description
This is to ensure the backport of the fixes to 8054214, 8173423, and 8177678 work fine on JDK8u. Original test case, java/util/calendar/SupplementalJapaneseEraTest was created for 8048123 which switches how to specify the extra era from calendar.properties (as in JDK8) to the system property. This test itself cannot be backported (as changing so would break the compatibility), so an equivalent test needs to be developed.
