Description : Library for unicode support and internalisation
ICU is a mature, widely used set of C/C++ and Java libraries for
Unicode support, software internationalization and globalization
(i18n/g11n). It grew out of the JDK 1.1 internationalization APIs, which
the ICU team contributed, and the project continues to be developed
for the most advanced Unicode/i18n support. ICU is widely portable and
gives applications the same results on all platforms and between C/C++
and Java software.
Remark: This software is currently provided inside the source package
of eclipse. There is no clear reason why it is tied into another packages
upstream version. Moreover there is a seperate package maintained in
Ubuntu and thus it is simple to "steal" this package. The packaging
stuff is available in SVN via
Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/icu4j
Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-java/trunk/icu4j/?rev=0&sc=0
Kind regards
Andreas.
