The duplication does seem like a waste of effort though and Math IMO is a better location - also Math already has a FractionFormat implementation. Perhaps would be a good idea to compare both Fraction implementations and ensure that one supports all features of the other and then deprecate one. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/trunk/src/java/org/apache/commons/math/fraction/ http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/lang/trunk/src/java/org/apache/commons/lang/math/ was (Author: niallp): I'm not sure why we have Fraction in both Lang and Math - I guess historically they just evolved separately.
