Download and build ICU4C. For more instructions on downloading and building ICU4C, see the ICU4C readme at: http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/trunk/readme.html#HowToBuild (Windows: build as x86, Release otherwise you will have to set 'CFG' differently below.) *NOTE* You should do a full rebuild after any data changes. 2. Step 2 depends on whether you are on a Windows or a Unix-type platform. *Windows* 2a. On the command line, cd to $icu4c_root\source\data. 2b. On the command line, nmake -f makedata.mak ICUMAKE=$icu4c_root\source\data\ CFG=x86\Release JAR="$jdk_bin\jar" ICU4J_ROOT=$icu4j_root icu4j-data-install Continue with step 3 below, in Java: *Linux* $icu4c_build is the ICU4C root build directory, which is $icu4c_root/source in an in-source build 2c. On the command line, cd to $icu4c_build 2d. Do make JAR=$jdk_bin/jar ICU4J_ROOT=$icu4j_root icu4j-data-install (You can omit the JAR if it's just jar.) Continue with step 3, in Java: Step 2 on either platform will produce two files: icudata.jar and icutzdata.jar in $icu4j_root/main/shared/data. *Java* 3. After the ICU4C-side steps above, build the main target of the ICU4J ant build to unpack the jar files with the following commands: cd $icu4j_root ant main
