java.math.BigDecimal using ROUND_HALF_UP does not behave as expected

i.e

import java.math.*;
public class BigTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {

    BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(0.115);
    bd = bd.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
    System.out.println("? 0.12 = " + bd);

    bd = new BigDecimal(1.115);
    bd = bd.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
    System.out.println("? 1.12 = " + bd);

    bd = new BigDecimal(2.115);
    bd = bd.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);

    System.out.println("? 2.12 = " + bd);
}
}



output:

? 0.12 = 0.12
? 1.12 = 1.11
? 2.12 = 2.12

should be:

? 0.12 = 0.12
? 1.12 = 1.12
? 2.12 = 2.12
