The following is the text from comment #1 (Comment #1 From Steven R. Shaw 2005-10-27 13:19) in bug #112789 : Eclipse will incorporate and package ICU. However there are no packaging details as of yet. But it will be in a plugin and intended for eclipse 3.2 platform. The changes that one might incurr could be as simply changing an import statement to use the ICU class as oppose to the Java class. As will the following java.text.* clases only an import statement would be changed: - BreakIterator - CollationKey - Collator - DateFormat - DecimalFormat - NumberFormat - SimpleDateFormat - StringCharacterIterator - StringTokenizer The biggest concern of the presentation comes as an effort to support unicode 4.1: - Problem areas: using combining characters and using supplementary characters which are larger than a single char - Use BreakIterator to iterate through a string. Cannot use charAt(..) because actual characters could be 1 or 2 chars in length. Except for characters like "/" which are always one char ASCII. Use of charAt(..) must be fixed / changed. java.text classes used in external interfaces must not be changed. Do not use ICU for external APIs. Someone brought up a question about current test plans for the changes, and as of yet there are none. So to as far as changes for us are required would be to use the ICU classes instead of the java classes and make sure string manipulations also use the ICU classes. But since eclipse does not currently package ICU the changes cannot be done yet I suppose. The ICU website is: http://icu.sourceforge.net/ (much more info that this presentation has provided) There are more links in the presentation slides which I can send out if you do not receive a copy (and once I receive my copy).
Reassign to Jerome for tptp 4.2. in accordance with discussion in Test project meeting 12/12/2005.
Please see defect 123444 for the list of plugins affected
This is the last known peice of work needed to complete ICU4J support in TPTP. What is the impact of this not beng done is I2 which was UI and feature freeze milestone?
Jerome should have done the work already for i2. Jerome, please confirm and resolve this bugzilla.
Done for projects: - org.eclipse.hyades.test.ui - org.eclipse.hyades.test.core - org.eclipse.hyades.test.tools.ui - org.eclipse.hyades.test.tools.core
ACTION: Please verify/close this defect.
Closing by default since not closed by the originator in the 7+ months since being resolved. Please reopen if the issue is still present in the latest TPTP release or the resolution is not correct.
