We missed this for M6 due to a major Mylyn release this week but will complete this for M7.

I'm currently looking into switching java.text.MessageFormat over to icu4j.  Turns out that it's a major headache.  All of my calls to MessageFormat use varargs-style calls, and icu4j doesn't have such a method.

I have adopted ICU4J in UI plug-ins where applicable. In some places JDK classes where exposed in API, e.g. DatePicker in org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.ui, which prevented usage of ICU4J to maintain binary compatibility.

Mylyn's core plug-ins are re-usable in standalone Java applications and aim to have a minimal set of dependencies. I have not adopted ICU4J for these plug-ins. To my knowledge the core plug-in's would not benefit from the enhanced unicode and globalization support.
