Summary: assertEquals does not compare java.math.BigDecimal properly

Initial Comment:
When using assertEquals to compare BigDecimals, it appears to only compare the integer portion of the BigDecimal:

For example, the following assert will pass when I would expect it to fail:

assertEquals("Testing non-equal BigDecimals.", 
             new BigDecimal("123.4"), 
             new BigDecimal("123.0"));

The original poster was correct.  This has been fixed in the latest
check-in, which will go into JUnit 4.4

You're doing something wrong -- if you're right it would indicate a
problem in Java anyway...
