I just wonder, why some enums are missing on the TimeUnit class of Java?
Actually the max timeunit is DAY while i would like to use stuff like WEEK, YEAR…

The
TimeUnit.DAYSconstant represents an interval of 24 hours, not a calendar day (midnight to midnight). Anything beyond a day (a week, a month, a year) is a calendar unit, not a time unit. The duration of calendar units depends on the calendar in use: for example, a week can be longer or shorter by an hour on weeks when daylight savings time goes in and out of effect, leap years are longer by a day, and so on. That is why including calendar units intoTimeUnitenumeration would not make sense.
