Description Ortwin Glück CLA 2005-09-02 06:22:20 EDT 
A line like
if (Float.parseFloat("1.11") > 1.11)
should optionally trigger a compiler warning that floating point
values of different types are compared here which leads
to unprecise results. Other operators affected: +, -,
==, >, <

Maybe Jikes can already do that and only a GUI has to be built. I don't know.
Please check that out.

A similar request was filed with the Jikes project:
