Today's software market is a global one in which it is desirable to develop
and maintain one application that supports a wide variety of national languages.
International Components for Unicode for Java provides the following tools
to help you write language independent applications:

<a NAME="WhatContain"></a><u>What the International Components for Unicode
for Java Contain</u></h3>
There are two ways to download the ICU4J releases,
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l10 level1 lfo9;tab-stops:list .5in">
<b>Official Release Snapshot:</b></li>
<li>
</li>
<br>If you want to use ICU4J (as opposed to developing it), your best bet
is to download an official, packaged ICU4J version of the ICU4J source
code.&nbsp; These versions are tested more thoroughly than day-to-day development
builds, and they are packaged in zip and tar files for convenient download.&nbsp;
These packaged files can be found at <a href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/icu4j/download/index.html">http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/icu4j/download/index.html</a>.
<br>If packaged snapshot is named <b>ICU4JXXXXXX.zip </b>, XXXXXX is the
release version number.
<br>Please unzip this file.&nbsp; It will re-construct the source directory.
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l10 level1 lfo9;tab-stops:list .5in">
<b>CVS Source Repository:</b></li>
<li>
</li>
<br>If you are interested in developing features, patches, or bug fixes
for ICU4J, you should probably be working with the latest version of the
ICU4J source code. You will need to check the code out of our CVS repository
to ensure that you have the most recent version of all of the files. There
are several ways to do this:
<ul type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:
auto;mso-list:l10 level2 lfo9;tab-stops:list 1.0in">
WebCVS:</li>
<li>
</li>
<br>If you want to browse the code and only make occasional downloads,
you may want to use WebCVS. It provides a convenient, web-based interface
for browsing and downloading the latest version of the ICU4J source code
and documentation. You can also view each file's revision history, display
the differences between individual revisions, determine which revisions
were part of which official release, and so on.
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:
auto;mso-list:l10 level2 lfo9;tab-stops:list 1.0in">
WinCVS:</li>
<li>
</li>
<br>If you will be doing serious work on ICU4J, you should probably install
a CVS client on your own machine so that you can do batch operations without
going through the WebCVS interface. On Windows, we suggest the WinCVS client.
The following is the example instruction on how to download ICU4J via WinCVS:
<br>1.Install the WinCVS client, which you can download from the WinCVS
home page.
<br>2.In the WinCVS preferences, specify your CVSRoot to be ":pserver:anoncvs@oss.software.ibm.com:/usr/cvs/icu4j"
<br>with the password "anoncvs". To enter the CVSRoot value, select "Preferences"
from the "Cvs Admin" pull-down menu.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Authentication should
be set to "'passwd' file on the cvs server".
<br>3.To "extract" the most recent version of ICU4J, select "Checkout module"
from the "Cvs Admin" menu. Specify "icu4j" for the module name.

<li>
</li>
<br>You can also check out the repository anonymously on UNIX using the
following commands, after first setting your CVSROOT to point to the ICU4J
repository:
<p>export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@oss.software.ibm.com:/usr/cvs/icu4j
<br>cvs login CVS password: anoncvs
<br>cvs checkout icu4j
<br>cvs logout</ul>

<h3>
<a NAME="PlatformDependencies"></a><u>Platform Dependencies</u></h3>
Parts of ICU4J depend on functionality that is only available in Java2
(JDk1.2) or later, although some components work under 1.1.&nbsp; However,
all components should be compiled using a Java2 compiler as even components
that run using a 1.1.x JVM may require language features that are only
present in 1.2.&nbsp; Currently 1.1.x is unsupported and untested and you
use the components on a 1.1.x system at your own risk.
<h3>
<a NAME="HowToInstallJavac"></a><u>How to Install/Build using Javac</u></h3>
To install the ICU4J source code simply unzip the icu4j-XXX.zip file by
typing "unzip -a icu4j-XXX.zip -d drive:\directory" under the command prompt.
<p>Create a folder named "classes" in the icu4j forlder.
<p>Run the buildall.bat script by typing "buildall" (or "buildall.bat"
from Unix) to build all the classes in ICU4J.&nbsp; Note that the script
simply calls javac so the java compiler must be in your path for the script
to work correctly.&nbsp; The resulting class files will be put in the "classes"
directory.
<h3>
<a NAME="HowToInstallAnt"></a><u>How to Install/Build using Ant</u></h3>
To install the ICU4J source code simply unzip the icu4j-XXX.zip file by
typing "unzip -a icu4j-XXX.zip -d drive:\directory" under the command prompt.
<p>Ant is a Java based build system developed for the Jakarta (part of
Apache) project.&nbsp; It can be downloaded from the Jakarta websight at:
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/downloads/binindex.html">http://jakarta.apache.org/downloads/binindex.html.</a>&nbsp;
Download the latest Jakarta-tools archive (<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1_beta_1/bin/jakarta-tools.tar.gz">http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1_beta_1/bin/jakarta-ant.zip</a>).
<p>The steps for installing Ant are:
<br>Move the Jakarta-ant.zip file into the root ICU4J folder (at the same
level with the src and build folders).
<br>Unzip the tools into the ICU4J root folder, type "unzip -a jakarta-ant.zip"
<br>Type "Build all" or "Build.sh all" under Unix.
<p>The resulting classes are put in the "classes" directory, the JavaDoc
is put in the "docs" directory, and a jar file is put in the top ICU4J
directory.
<p>At this point it is probably a good idea to run all the tests by typeing
"java -classpath classes com.ibm.test.topleveltest.TestAll".
