Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-892:
--------------------------------------
Hi Sandro,
I am updating my fix based on your comments. The real problem was the
upper/lower casing of the exponent character, and not that we needed a
DecimalFormat. So, I have updated the validators and added a couple more
fields in the validator test, just to test basic float and double validation.
> DoubleValidator and FloatValidator do not allow exponents to be entered

> The DoubleValidator and FloatValidator classes rely on a default NumberFormat
> instance to do parsing, however, a DecimalFormat is necessary in order to
> recognize floating values entered with exponents.
> As a result, using one of these validators currently will fail to validate a
> valid floating-point number such as "3.0e20".
