Comment on 8260692: Matematically wrong implementations of RoundingMode.HALF_UP and .HALF_DOWN

[Raffaello Giulietti]

Hi,

in my opinion, and contrary to the report [1], the described issue is 
not a bug.

While the wording used in the spec of java.math.RoundingMode could be 
improved, it is nonetheless clear enough to avoid any confusion about 
what HALF_DOWN and HALF_UP mean in this context. The actual values 
reported are all correct while the expected ones are not.

I think the issue can be closed as not relevant.


Greetings
Raffaello
