Here is the sample program:

==========Foo.java===============
import java.text.*;

/**
*/
public class Foo
{
    /** @attribute System.STAThread() */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
        System.out.println(format.parse("9E3"));
        System.out.println(format.parse("9.1E3"));
    }
}
=================================

The output in J# is 9 and 9.1. In Java, it's 9000 and 9100.
