JDK-6863378 - Project Coin: Consider library support for underscores in numbers and binary literals
Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Converting string to integer got NumberFormatException when put underscore ( _ ) between numbers in String ("1000_100").
Allowing underscore in binary literal should also allow this parsing.

JUSTIFICATION :
Allowing underscore in binary literal should also allow underscore while parsing string to integral data type.
