Olivier Sechet created CLI-226:
----------------------------------
Summary: createNumber() in TypeHandler cannot work with some Locale
Key: CLI-226
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-226
Project: Commons CLI
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Olivier Sechet
The {{createNumber()}} method in the {{TypeHandler}} class expects the decimal
separator to be a dot ({{'.'}}). However the dot is not used in all the
languages as a decimal separator. Most of the European countries, Russia and a
lot of others countries uses a comma ({{','}}).
With the corresponding {{Locale}}, the {{createNumber()}} method fails,
throwing an exception.
For example:
{code:title=Type.java|borderStyle=solid}
public class Type {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
java.util.Locale.setDefault(java.util.Locale.GERMANY);
String text = java.text.NumberFormat.getNumberInstance().format(12.34);
Number nb = org.apache.commons.cli.TypeHandler.createNumber(text);
System.out.println(nb);
}
}
{code}
