java.text.DecimalFormat does not parse infinite values correctly
----------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HARMONY-107
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-107
     Project: Harmony
        Type: Bug
  Components: Classlib  
    Reporter: Richard Liang


In Java 1.4.2 Spec of java.text.DecimalFormat.parse(String, ParsePosition), it's said:
Values that cannot fit into a Long are returned as Doubles. This includes values with a fractional part, infinite values, NaN, and the value -0.0.

The test cases will fail if excuting under Harmony and pass on RI:

    //  Test whether DecimalFormat can parse Positive infinity correctly
    public void testParseInfinityBigDecimalFalse() {
        DecimalFormat format = (DecimalFormat) DecimalFormat.getInstance();
        DecimalFormatSymbols symbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
        Number number = format.parse(symbols.getInfinity(), new ParsePosition(0));

        assertTrue(number instanceof Double);
        assertTrue(Double.isInfinite(number.doubleValue()));
    }

    // Test whether DecimalFormat can parse Negative infinity correctly
    public void testParseMinusInfinityBigDecimalFalse() {
        DecimalFormat format = (DecimalFormat) DecimalFormat.getInstance();
        DecimalFormatSymbols symbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
        Number number = format.parse("-" + symbols.getInfinity(),
                new ParsePosition(0));

        assertTrue(number instanceof Double);
        assertTrue(Double.isInfinite(number.doubleValue()));
    }
