Hi, if it is only about parsing floats, why not use NumberFormat.getInstance().parse(value)?
I did 8205108: [testbug] Fix pattern matching in jstatd tests. http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk-updates/jdk11u/rev/1637a4e50fc9?revcount=80 some while ago, because we had wrong float parsing on mac in our tests. ... just a hint to think about, you don't need to redo the change ...
