Parsing Error for high precision double values

We ran into an issue using luciphor2 with parsing high precision double values in the mzML files:
luciphor2 failed with:
umich.ms.fileio.exceptions.FileParsingException: java.lang.NumberFormatException: Too many digits - Overflow
It seems that the "javolution" library is not able to parse doubles which have more than 19 digits.
Error:

Hi Oliver,
- Do you really need 20 decimal digits? Fixing that might be easier.
- I think this is the correct behavior - an IEEE 754 double can only have 15-17 digits of precision (it's a complicated topic overall). Parsing something with 19 digits would be loss of precision and require a specialized numeric type.
The exception you see is thrown deliberately, not just by neglect:
