Project Proposal: Physics / Measuring
-------------------------------------
Key: COMMONSSITE-19
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSSITE-19
Project: Commons All
Issue Type: New Feature
Environment: Java 5.0 and higher, all platforms
Reporter: Matthias Rothe
The measuring project is a physics related library containing classes for all
sorts of measuring units, their prefixes and measurables, objects that take a
subtype of Number and a measuring unit.
Those measurables will be capable of converting themselves into target
measurables of the same or a related measuring unit. Say you have an object of
the measurable type meters and want to convert it to miles. All you would need
to do is passing the meters object the desired measuring unit and prefix and
you'd get a new measurable of the target unit and prefix and the converted
value.
Furthermore all measurables, measuring units and prefixes will be able to tell
their names (and values) in a locale sensitive way, either abbreviated (e.g.
km) or fully (e.g. kilometer).
