I do not object here. :) There are still a few bugs to be ironed out in icu4j 3.8 before we start > using it (unless we are willing to put up with almost all the Bidi tests > failing, which I don't think would be acceptable) so the transition to > 3.8 would not happen for a little while yet anyway.

I think when we are done with classlib, we file a JIRA on DRLVM build to update ICU4C to the latest version and to move it to DRLVM dependencies. Regards, > Oliver WBR,
