Re: [icu-support] 4 classes in icu4jni counld not be loaded in other jvm

Hi Tony,

This is done so by design. Prior to JDK 1.4 the conversion classes were in
sun.io package. To provide external conversion services, libraries had to
extend sun.io classes. If you are using ICU4JNI with other JVMs then you
should not use these classes. I hope you are using JVM and JDKs compatible
with JDK 1.4, if not then you cannot use conversion services provided by
ICU4JNI.
