Basically there are 2 ways to fix this problem within Inline::Java:
1- Send the actual double bytes to Java instead of sending a string
representation of the double. However I'm quite sure there will be
some portability issues (byte ordering, ...) with this and it may lead
to problems.
2- Use the "sprintf patch" with a user configurable precision. That
would maintain current functionality and add the extra precision only
when required by the user.
I'll try to implement one of these in the next release.
