Calendars
Most Java developers are familiar with the Gregorian calendar and perhaps even Julian Day, but to have a well localized application it is often neccessary to go beyond that.
To do business across Asia you need to be able to handle the Chinese, Japanese, and Buddhist calendars. Muslim nations require an Islamic Calendar, and Israel needs a Hebrew calendar. Each of these poses problems for the internationalization developer, but thankfully core Java and, to a greater extent, ICU provide some excellent capabilities for handling diverse calendars.
