Hi,

I have this little program.

import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.Locale;

final class LocaleCheck {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
		NumberFormat f = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(new Locale("NL"));
		System.out.println(f.parse("1,07"));
	}
}

/usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java LocaleCheck
1.07

/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/bin/java LocaleCheck
107

Java 5 gives the correct output.

Running on FreeBSD 7.0 from 11 Jan 2008.

java version "1.5.0_13-p7"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build  
1.5.0_13-p7-root_07_jan_2008_13_37)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-p7-root_07_jan_2008_13_37,  
mixed mode)

java version "1.6.0_03-p3"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build  
1.6.0_03-p3-root_26_nov_2007_14_37-b00)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-p3-root_26_nov_2007_14_37-b00,  
mixed mode)

Do people see the same output? Should I file a PR?
I don't have the problem on Linux with java 1.5.0_10 and 1.6.0_03.

Greetings,

Ronald.
