Rob Tompkins commented on LANG-1038:
------------------------------------
There seems to be clear inconsistency between {{NumberUtils.createNumber(final
String val)}} and {{NumberUtils.isNumber(final String str)}}. I agree here that
the javadoc should be clarified as to what {{isNumber}} should return, but
either way there should be consistency.
> NumberUtils#isNumber() returns false for "+2" and true for "-2"

> Key: LANG-1038
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1038
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: lang.math.*
> Affects Versions: 3.1, 3.3.2
> Reporter: will mason
> Fix For: Discussion
>
>
> The strings {{"\+2"}} and {{"\+ 2"}} give a "False" result when tested by
> {{isNumber()}}.
> Case one, {{"\+2"}} is legal with {{Integer.parseInt()}}. Case two: {{"\+
> 2"}} gives an exception with {{Integer.parseInt()}}.
> I believe the function should match legitimate inputs for the respective
> parser function depending on the number type.
> Workaround: Use something like:
> {code:java}
> NumberUtils.isNumber( wrkStr.replaceFirst( "\\+", "") )
> {code}
