  Description     : high performance arbitrary precision arithmetic library for Java

Apfloat is a high performance arbitrary precision arithmetic library.
You can perform calculations with a precision of millions of digits with
it. It's as simple to use as Java's BigDecimal or BigInteger classes,
but performs a lot better with extreme precision numbers (more than a
few hundred digits). Also, a full suite of mathematical functions for
arbitrary precision numbers are available: all those existing in
java.lang.Math and more.

This package is needed as a dependency of snpeff, which the Debian Med team would like to package. I am personnally aiming at this.
It will be maintained in the Debian Java team.
