Description

The DoubleValidator and FloatValidator classes rely on a default NumberFormat instance to do parsing, however, a DecimalFormat is necessary in order to recognize floating values entered with exponents.

As a result, using one of these validators currently will fail to validate a valid floating-point number such as "3.0e20".
