Using DecimalFormat(###0.0) produces formatted output as ollows: 00.5This should be 0.5 and indeed JDK 115 gets this right. 116 appears to add an extra 0 (although not one for every #).


import java.text.*;
public class test
{

public static void main(String argv[])
{
DecimalFormat test1 = new DecimalFormat("###0.0");
StringBuffer test2 = new StringBuffer();
FieldPosition test3 = new FieldPosition(0);

test1.format(.5,test2,test3);
System.out.println(test2);
}
}
