I am working in adding Hijri (Islamic) calendar. I think it is better to split calendar specified functions of Gregorian and Julian calendars to separated classes and create a common interface for them. Then create a new calendar classes.
As I see, some code of validate dates are in data-values package, so we need another calendar class there.

I have added Hijri calendar, but I prefer a unique behavior for all calenders, we need a dictionary for calendar strings and limits and two functions: a convertor to Gregorian and a validator.
