Open Issue: How to convert Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY to BigDecimal (unsolved)

The problem

new BigDecimal(Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY) throws a NumberFormatException. As the Javadoc of BigDecimal says: NumberFormatException - if val is infinite or NaN.

Also not working:

• BigDecimal.valueof(Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY)
• BigDecimal.valueof(""+Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY)

The solution (unsolved)

If anybody knows how to convert Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY to BigDecimal please write a comment..
