The negative portion of the number format in DecimalFormat is being ignored.
Behavior is as if the negative format were not being entered at all.

import java.lang.*;
import java.text.*;

public class TestApp extends java.lang.Object
{
  public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
  {
    DecimalFormat dfFoo;
    
    dfFoo = new DecimalFormat("0000;-000");
    System.out.println(dfFoo.toPattern());
    System.out.println(dfFoo.format(42));
    System.out.println(dfFoo.format(-42));
    System.out.println();
    
    dfFoo.applyPattern("000;-000");
    System.out.println(dfFoo.toPattern());
    System.out.println(dfFoo.format(42));
    System.out.println(dfFoo.format(-42));
    System.out.println();
    
    dfFoo.applyPattern("000;-0000");
    System.out.println(dfFoo.toPattern());
    System.out.println(dfFoo.format(42));
    System.out.println(dfFoo.format(-42));
    System.out.println();
    
    dfFoo.applyPattern("0000;-000");
    System.out.println(dfFoo.toPattern());
    System.out.println(dfFoo.format(42));
    System.out.println(dfFoo.format(-42));
    System.out.println();
    
    
  }
    
}



Produces the following erroneous output:

#0000
0042
-0042

#000
042
-042

#000
042
-042

#0000
0042
-0042
