Folks,
I wanted to share what happened here, since this may hit others using
eGit while developing WTP. Simply put, I made changes to our
dependencies.properties file to move the WTP 3.5 build up to a newer
Eclipse platform and DTP. Since this prevented us from building, I went in
to revert the changes. I did a history of the file, and did a Compare with
Working Tree. As meticulous as I am, I used the Next Change button to go
through each change and then used the Copy Current Change from Right to
Left button on each change. Once I had reverted all of the changes, I
saved, and then did another Compare with Working Tree (I told you I was
meticulous) to ensure that there were no other changes. The files appeared
identical. So I committed and pushed the change, and the build blew up.
It took me quite a bit of searching to find the whitespace difference
that was causing the issue. And even after I had fixed it by hand, eGit
wouldn't let me commit the file, since it still stated that nothing had
changed. There's probably some setting in there that I can change that
will force eGit to recognize the whitespace-only change, but I ended up
just making another non-whitespace change and then I was able to commit and
push the file, and the builds started working again.
Anyway, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up of what happened to
me, since I never had issues like this with CVS, and since it might happen
to another WTP developer at some point.
FWIW,

Folks,
I did a search through our MANIFEST.MF files, and I do not see any that
have an explicit requirement of a version range for ICU- all of the ones
that I saw were similar to:
com.ibm.icu;bundle-version="3.8.1",
I tried to move the WTP build up to the latest Eclipse 4.3 integration
drivers, which include the new ICU. Unfortunately, DTP has not fixed their
ICU dependencies. They have opened
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=395346 to address this issue.
Once that bug is resolved, I will attempt to verify that we do not have any
ICU versioning issues.
FWIW,
