Sebb commented on LANG-971:
---------------------------
A related bug is that isNumber() does not allow for 0XABCD whereas
createNumber() allows for both 0xABCD and 0XABCD
> NumberUtils#isNumber(String) fails to evaluate invalid Octal numbers
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-971
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-971
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: lang.math.*
> Affects Versions: 3.2.1
> Reporter: Stephan Knitelius
> Priority: Minor
>
> When trying to convert "0085" with NumberUtils.createInteger(String) an
> NumberFormatException is thrown.
> This is because the leading 0 causes the String to be evaluated as an Octal,
> 8 is not a valid octal.
> However NumberUtils#isNumber(String) evaluates to true, even so it cannot be
> converted.
