From bug 136189 comment #1

-----------

The webdav project can adopt ICU4J in the following places:

org.eclipse.webdav.client.Policy
- use ICU's MessageFormat 
org.eclipse.webdav.internal.Policy
- use ICU's MessageFormat
org.eclipse.webdav.internal.kernel.Policy
- use ICU's MessageFormat instead of java.text
org.eclipse.webdav.internal.kernel.utils.DateTime
- use ICU's SimpleDateFormat, Calendar, TimeZone

We need to determine how we want to proceed here. Currently the WebDAV plug-in is structured in a way such that it can be used outside of an OSGi environment; just as a JAR in a Java application.

Perhaps the best thing to do is:
- create an optional dependancy
- have conditional code which tries to load the appropriate class and if that doesn't work then we default to Java class library behaviour

The optional dependancy could be on icu4j or on osgi (NLS class).

See also bug 18558 which talks about adding progress monitor cancellation to the APIs. If this bug goes forward, it would add a non-optional dependancy on equinox.common and osgi.

This component is no longer being actively developed. We encourage users to investigate the capabilities of the Eclipse Web Tools Project.
