> Key: PIVOT-1024
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-1024
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: wtk-validation
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
> Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1

>
> Running the TextInputValidatorTest program with some edge cases revealed that
> although the validators allow a leading "-" for numbers (as they should), a
> leading "+" sign gives a validation error or "not valid" status, which should
> be perfectly acceptable.
> The underlying problem seems to be that since the DecimalFormat normally used
> doesn't really work right if you specify a leading positive string (that is,
> it will require it, not just allow it), that things are a bit wonky there.
> So, we will have to allow it ourselves with code outside the "Format"
> validation.
