icu4j news
i meant to get this public sooner but got busy. there's an issue with date formatting in the latest version (3.0) of icu4j. in version 2.8, you could normally get fully localized date formats including month/day names and localized digits (الخميس, ٢٧ جمادى الأولى, ١٤٢٥) in version 3.0 the digits aren't localized (الخميس, 27 جمادى الأولى, 1425). it seems the numberFormat class was using the default locale rather than the calendar's to format numbers. you can read more about these if you care to here: IBM's found & fixed these, but not yet updated the jar. you can see the bug in action here. beyond that bug, that page also shows of spike's oh so cool classpath technique. its actually loading & using two different versions of icu4j, none of which are in mx server's classpath. yeah i know, i'm easily impressed, but to my mind spike's technique is cool. in more icu4j news, IBM's also just announced the release of a new version of rbManager. we use this tool a lot--it's the cat's pajama's of rb tools.
