Eclipse ICU Library Bug

There is a bug in ICU4J 3.4.4 that is shipped with Eclipse 3.2RC1a.

The bug shows up in the form of MissingResourceExceptions or infinite loops with CACAO and JamVM.

You can download a fixed version of com.ibm.icu_3.4.3.jar here. Just put it in the plugins directory, overwriting the original .jar file.

I have reported this bug in the ICU bug tracker as bug #5183.

I have reported this bug in the Eclipse Bugzilla as bug #139457.

The following patch fixes the bug:
