> I suggest using java.lang.Double.MIN_NORMAL for a platform normalized minimal floating point value.
> A quick program for printing Double.MIN_NORMAL gives the following result.
> class test {
>    public static void main(String[] args) {
>        System.out.println("min float = " + Double.MIN_NORMAL );
>    }
> }
> java test
> min float = 2.2250738585072014E-308
> Could it be an openjdk glitch? Thank you for any comments and help how this could be fixed.
