[Bug classpath/31770] New: BigDecimal string constructor incorrectly accepts multiple sign characters in exponent

[jeroen at frijters dot net]

The following code (adapted from an Apache commons-lang test) runs without
throwing NumberFormatException, but according to the spec it should throw a
NumberFormatException.

public class test
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    System.out.println(new java.math.BigDecimal("-123E+-212"));
  }
}
