new BigDecimal(Biginteger val, int scale)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Why this can't be implemented?

Wouldn't it be something like this ??? :\

         public BigDecimal(BigInteger val) {
                this( "" + val );
         }

         public BigDecimal(BigInteger unscaledVal, int scale) {
                this( "" + val );
                setScale(scale);

         }

I'm having the same issue, anyway the above code does not work, as setScale 
does not
do the job, but something like implementing "movePointLeft" will fix the 
problem.
anyway why none of "point moving" methods are not implemented? is there a 
problem in
there?

Just looked at the sources, and saw that it is already 
implemented(implementation
didn't feel right but anyway). So please update the first page and add those 
methods
to the "emulated" methods list. Thanks for the good job!

The problem that it didn't feel right: it was implemented in r185 using 
setScale, but
setScale does not change the current contents(ie by dividing or moving the 
decimal
point), so the implementation is not right.

http://code.google.com/p/gwt-java-math supports new BigDecimal(Biginteger val, 
int scale)
