is happening around OpenJDK JEP 306:

http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/306 -As a Java feature request, could I request feature 306? Underflow and overflow need to be eliminated from double and float. There could be an associativefp option. It should also be the case that there should be a round half up for the decimal place beyond the last one in the float or double range, to help support all notions of (pow(sqrt(3),2) == 3) //true -The other thing that there should be is a StrictMath that works for BigInteger and BigDecimal, allowing: pow(BigDecimal,BigDecimal) pi(...) e(...) sin(Bigdecimal) asin(Bigdecimal) ... which would allow for any power at all, as well as the nth root. It is also a good idea to include a radians and degrees version of all the trig functions.
