Description Paul Webster CLA 2011-01-27 15:19:17 EST 
The fix for Bug 303889 has an unintended consequence.  We can no longer launch a workbench RCP app using com.ibm.icu.base (which can shave about 6M off of a 13M RCP app)

We might need a replacement for use of BiDi in the Platform plugins.

I currently get an exception on startup that kills the org.eclipse.ui.workbench plugin:

Dina, could you verify that this change does not break bug 303889?

Verified that build I20110307-2110 can be used with com.ibm.icu.base.
