Hi again, I tried downgrading one of my systems to Java 1.3 and built the Normalizer module of ICU4J with it. It compiled fine and passed the Normalization tests with no problems. As you mentioned, it's still quite large, so I'll see if I can trim any other bits out.
I agree that implementing the code as an XNI component seems like a good idea so I'll write that into my proposal. I'll try and get an initial proposal with a basic design up in the next few days and hopefully some kind people here could help me improve it. thanks, Richard 2009/3/25 Michael Glavassevich <[email protected]>: > > I'm familiar with ICU4J.
