| I was planning to use com.ibm.icu.base as well for CDT’s stand-alone debugger. It will help shrink the size quite a bit.

FYI, jdt.ls uses com.ibm.icu.base because the full package represented about 25% of the jdt.ls distro. So keeping it is kind of a big deal for us. Hi,
In the bug you reference I don't see that the platform has lifted any of
its version range so one can happily run the complete codebase on the
old icu.base version.
In the end the right thing for the future is to get rid of ibm.icu from
the core platform (anything defining an e4 application) is the right way
forward.
I understand that for a IDE it does not make a big difference if your
download is 12MB larger but for a small RCP application it can be.
Anyways I'm packaging it into our target now so e(fx)clipse users are
not affected because they anyways point to our self-contained p2 repository.
