Henri Yandell commented on LANG-693:
------------------------------------
Can you provide more data? If I run the following test it looks to happily be
returning Doubles (and already had a test for BigDecimal):
// LANG-693
assertEquals("createNumber(String) LANG-693 failed", Double.MAX_VALUE,
NumberUtils
.createNumber("" + Double.MAX_VALUE));
System.err.println( NumberUtils.createNumber(""+Double.MAX_VALUE));
System.err.println(
NumberUtils.createNumber(""+Double.MAX_VALUE).getClass()); // prints
java.lang.Double
> Method createNumber from NumberUtils doesn't work for floating point numbers
> other than Float

> Key: LANG-693
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-693
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: lang.math.*
> Affects Versions: 2.6
> Reporter: Carlos Rego
> Priority: Minor
>
> Method createNumber from NumberUtils is trying to parse a string with a
> floating point number always first as a Float, that will cause that if we
> send a string with a number that will need a Double or even a BigDecimal the
> number will be truncate to accommodate into the Float without an exception to
> be thrown, so in fact we will no be returning ever neither a Double nor a
> BigDecimal.
