Description

This bug occurs in MetaClassHelper.java on line 393. It unnecessarily creates a new BigDecimal when one was already passed in. Calling doubleValue() changes the original value.

Java Class:
import java.math.BigDecimal;
class BigDecimalEcho {
public static BigDecimal echoX ( BigDecimal x, BigDecimal y)

{ return x; }

}

GroovyTest:
import BigDecimalEcho

println BigDecimalEcho.echoX(9.95, 1.0)
println BigDecimalEcho.echoX(9.95, 1)

Output:
9.95
9.949999999999999289457264239899814128875732421875
