Changes for Eclipse

-

The primary driver for this release is to snapshot the version of ICU4J -that will be made available as an Eclipse jar. This required some changes -to ICU4J to meet Eclipse requirements, in particular, the ability to have -a version of ICU4J that builds and runs under a Foundation 1.0 profile. -This profile is a subset of JDK 1.3, and omits some functionality and API that -the standard version of ICU4J uses.

-

In order to accomodate this, we use an internal 'preprocessing' tool -to tweak standard ICU4J source files. A dozen or so ICU4J files were -marked up so that the tool could conditionally add or omit APIs and code -as required. The Eclipse version of the ICU4J APIs is therefore -somewhat different from the standard version, while the standard version has -not regressed from the previous release.

-

ICU Time Zone Data

-

ICU4J now (once again) uses its own time zone data rather than relying -upon the time zone data in the JDK. This allows users to get current time -zone information even when running on older versions of the JDK.

+

Java 1.3 Support

+

This release continues the progress made in 3.4.2 towards Java 1.3 +support. It is now possible to both build and run a version of ICU4J on +Java 1.3. ICU4J still ships by default for running on Java 1.4, and +must be rebuilt to work on 1.3-- this is a simple matter of rebuilding +using the 'jdk13Compat' ant build target. Some APIs supported by ICU4J +do not exist in Java 1.3, and so the 1.3-compatible version removes +those APIs via a preprocessing step. Most of the APIs, though, are +the same in both versions. +

New Time Zone Data

+

ICU4J 3.4.2 saw ICU4J once again use its own time zone data. Release 3.4.3 +updates the time zone data to version 2006a from the Olson time +zone database. This supports recent time zone changes, including the upcoming +change to U.S. daylight saving time.

+

No Deprecated Warnings for +Draft APIs.

+

ICU4J 3.4.3 now by default ships with @deprecated warnings for @draft APIs +turned off. This was proving to be more of a nuisance than a help to our +clients. A tool has been provided (swatdeprecated) which can be used to +reenable @deprecated warnings for @draft APIs.
