A minor suggestion. I've found that modulus operator for decimal type is implemented like this: [code]DecimalModDecimal: BigDecimal quotient = A.divide(B, 0, BigDecimal.ROUND_DOWN); BigDecimal remainder = A.subtract(quotient.multiply(B));[/code] I think BigDecimal.remainder() is simpler.

Thanks. You are right. This is not the only opportunity for improving the implementation of DecimalValue now that it now longer has to work on JDK 1.4. The main thing holding it back is that it's difficult to determine how thorough the test coverage is.

I've made this change and it looks OK, though the number of test cases is rather smaller than I would like.
