As a core plugin with minimal dependencies, it would be unfortunate to drag in the ICU4J wad for clients using org.eclipse.core.variables. The only usage I currently see is in MessageFormat, which could be changed to use NLS.bind.
Created attachment 38963 [details] Patch to org.eclipse.core.variables Here is a patch to remove dependency on ICU4J.
Marking as "greatbug". I think this is a great bug because John has taken the time to look for optimizations in the platform and provide a patch for us. We will now look for similar opportunities in our other plug-ins using ICU4J to determine if they require the full support, or may just be able to NLS.bind. Marking fixed.
Verified.
