Oh, ok, I have a theory:  This may be a locale problem and a bug in the 
parsing code.  The immediate workaround would be to set your locale for 
java (or perhaps the whole machine if that can't be done--use the 
windows regional settings control panel) to be English (en) with the 
region being US.  The problem is that the french locale (probably set to 
something like fr, FR_EURO) using "," as the separator for floating 
point numbers and parts of our code must depend on "." being the 
separator (which is the case with en, US).

If you want to try to actually fix the problem (to great applause from 
Europe!) I'd look at the XMLElement.java file (in 
ogoglio-common/src/main/java/nanoxml) around line 1114.  
Float.parseFloat isn't interantionalized

so I would figure that it could be changed to use DecimalFormat

Please advise if you get this to work!
