If possible remove dependency to ICU4J by using Java built-in functionality
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JENA-177
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-177
Project: Jena
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Jena, IRI
Reporter: Thorsten Möller
Priority: Minor
Jena-core and IRI currently depend on ICU4J for implementing Unicode support.
Since ICU4J is rather heavyweight of which a rather small fraction is used, we
should check if there is a way of implementing the functionality in an
alternative way, either by (i) using built-in (standard) Java classes, (ii)
other libraries that are already dependencies, or (iii) in a completely
alternative way. This is also supported by the fact that since relevant parts
have been initially implemented, Unicode support has been considerably extended
in Java, see
