The pieces of Unicode 4.1 that would be of any concern would be the notable
changes [1]. If we were to fully support Unicode 4.1 in some classes, like
Character.UnicodeBlock, there may be some cases of supporting more than the
Java 5 spec (RI). This is probably fine in most cases, but I'd be curious if
this had any affect on the JCK or any other JRE tests.
I haven't checked the Java 6 spec lately, but it's likely that it has moved
to Unicode 4.1.
More than anything, I'd just like to have some sort of consensus if a
question or a bug about supporting a Unicode 4.1 value comes up. If ICU
supports it then I'm even more inclined to support it.
Nathan, just FYI, if you decide to support Unicode 4.1, you may be
interest in UCharacter[1][2] provided by ICU4J. Hopefully it can be useful.

Shouldn't we be using Unicode 4.0.1, since Java 5 RI is 4.0-based and
4.1 is
large upgrade? I've used 4.0.1 to implement some of the Character and
UnicodeBlock code since it's a 4.0 patch version.
Should be attempt to support a single Unicode version for all modules,
regardless of which version we pick?
A bunch of our TEXT implementation is based on ICU 3.4 which itself
conforms to Unicode 4.1.
Do you think that there are good reasons to stay with the 4.0 based spec?

Hi,
Just noticed that the source file java.util.regex.AbstractCharClass in
modules/regex contains the following Javadoc comment for the
PredefinedCharacterClasses inner class:
/**
* character classes generated from
* http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/
* http://www.unicode.org/Public/4.1.0/ucd/Blocks.txt
*/
According to the terms of use for Blocks.txt file we need to be
including the Unicode Inc. copyright notice somewhere in our
documentation. As we do not appear to be doing this currently I would
like to propose that we add the following into the file
enhanced/classlib/THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt:
