Name: dfC67450 Date: 10/21/97



java.text.DecimalFormat.format(double, StringBuffer, FieldPosition) formats 0.0
as the empty string when MinimumIntegerDigits setting is 0.
 
Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

-----------------Test.java------------------------
import java.text.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main (String args[]){
        DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();
        df.setMinimumIntegerDigits(0);
        double n = 0;
        System.out.println(n + ": '" + df.format(n) + "'");
        n = 0.1;
        System.out.println(n + ": '" + df.format(n) + "'");

    }

}

---------Output from the test---------------------
0.0: ''
0.1: '.1'
