There is a bug in the jetty util jar (at least in 6.1.9) when parsing a negative number.  This will parse as positive: -0.6667.  This is due to an error on line 1048 where you multiply minus by the existing number.  Since it is 0, the minus gets ignored.

I was further able to determine that the file in question is org.mortbay.util.ajax.JSON

FWIW, I took a look at the file in SVN and the line number does not align with the version in trunk. Hopefully this is enough to go on. I understand that 6.1.9 is not technically part of the Eclipse project, but figured that the bug should be reported anyway.

I will ask the the sender to cc himself on this bug.

This is already fixed in latest Jetty-6 and Jetty-7
So upgrade to the latest.

thanks for the report.
