Regarding ICU4J - for those projects that do adopt it: Please make
sure you use Import-Package rather than Require-Bundle so that clients
can use the replacement JAR (0.17MB vs. 4MB for the full ICU4J) that
the Platform makes available on their download pages (look for
"com.ibm.icu.base binary"). This is of interest to standalone or RCP
applications that don't rely on the improved
Unicode/internationalization/globalization support of ICU4J.

More information on this can be found at: http://wiki.eclipse.org/ICU4J
