This is to make the decision where to break long text into lines.

My first thought was to do a most simple implementation and omit the 
dependency. But it seems to me, the implementation is not easy.

So the best way seems to me, go the way the original eclipse designers 
choose. Use ICU.
Thought?

I agree.  :)

Probably best to go with the full ICU.

Will the old Mango ICU wrapper work, or is it outdated?

yes and no. in general it works, but to work good with utf8 some changes 
and additions are needed. (ICU works in general with utf16)
