In SloppyMath.java I see the following: {code} // haversin // TODO: remove these for java 9, they fixed Math.toDegrees()/toRadians() to work just like this. public static final double TO_RADIANS = Math.PI / 180D; public static final double TO_DEGREES = 180D / Math.PI; {code} ... which leads me to wonder if Java 9 was fixed and we should instead be using Math.toDegrees()/toRadians() everywhere?
