Hi everyone,
Fixing the behaviours of java.text against JDK 1.4.2 I am encountering some strange things. For example, java.text.ChoiceFormat.parse may raise a ParseException in JDK 1.4.2 although the interface does not permit it. This poses a problem because on one hand we want to be JDK compatible but on the other hand we cannot adapt Java compilers to our needs...
Looking at GNU/Classpath they seem to have some more things implemented but the strict behaviour is also wrong. (sigh) What do you think we should do here ? Just pass it through ?
I looked briefly over the interfaces. NumberFormat.parse(String) throws a ParseException. ChoiceFormat.parse(String), which overrides it, doesn't.
What could be happening is Sun using super.parse(String) in cases where you see a ParseException.
cheers, dalibor topic
