Question on visibility Imperial.POUND

[niklas...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am trying to convert kg to pound using the uom api.

While I can specify a quantity in kg by using tec.uom.se.unit.Units.KILOGRAM, I have not found a similar constant for pounds.

uom-systems/common-java8/src/main/java/systems/uom/common/Imperial.java contains a constant that is package protected, so I cannot access it.

Can you tell me what the recommended way to get an instance of the pound unit is?

Thanks & best regards,

  Niklas

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Please for immediate needs use USCustomary from the same module. 

I created https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/uom-systems/issues/118

We aim to add every relevant unit that's in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_units. If you have a GitHub user and are happy to sign the Eclipse Contributor Agreement (to allow using this and other libraries in Eclipse.org projects like SmartHome, etc.) you are more than welcome to contribute. 

These libraries are not part of JSR 363 or 385 so JCP membership is not necessary to help with them.

Thanks,

Werner
