-------------------------------------

             Summary: Documentation - suggests using float for financials
                 Key: JEXL-180
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-180
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Kimball Robinson


The examples page:
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-jexl/reference/examples.html
Uses a Float type to represent dollar amounts.  This is a bad idea--floating 
point values are not large enough to represent larger transactions and this 
could teach developers bad habits, especially in enterprise environments.

At the least you should use the Double class in your example.
