Rob Tompkins created LANG-1252:
----------------------------------

             Summary: NumberUtils.isNumber and NumberUtils.createNumber resolve inconsistently
                 Key: LANG-1252
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1252
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: lang.math.*
    Affects Versions: 3.4
            Reporter: Rob Tompkins
             Fix For: Discussion


In considering the issues LANG-1060, LANG-1040, LANG-1038, and LANG-992, it seems that there are times when {{NumberUtils.isNumber}} resolves to {{false}} while {{NumberUtils.createNumber}}, given the same input, does not throw an exception, returning a valid {{java.lang.Number}}. This inconsistency should be resolved either by making {{isNumber}} more lenient or {{createNumber}} more stringent.
