6480539: BigDecimal.stripTrailingZeros() should specify no-op on zero BigDecimals (original) (raw)

I am chiming in to agree with Stephen. About a year ago, I encountered the same issue and was extremely dissatisfied with the behavior. I was forced to create a utility method to check for "0" before passing it onto stripTrailingZeros(). The current behavior is useless; the spec is clear stripping extra zeros means exactly that.
