Description Stephan Herrmann CLA 2011-03-01 06:39:19 EST 
The rules for the simultaneous release require
 "Excel in NL support. The Project must use ICU4J, where appropriate, 
  to excel in NL support."
Scanning the documentation I found one class that should be avoided and is 
actually in use by the OTDT: java.text.MessageFormat.

This should be fixed by simply switching to org.eclipse.osgi.util.NLS.
Still, care must be taken that no classes of the batch compiler have
a dependency on osgi.

Verified by search over source code:
no more references to java.text.MessageFormat in our code.
