Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-9767:
-------------------------------------

btw, on windows, the binaries might still be appropriate to use, i don't know, 
i don't use windows. that won't be my "dll hell".

But on linux, binaries will cause "dll hell", especially as icu is a very 
common package for linux systems to have installed (and we need exact versions 
to match).

> When we upgrade ICU dependency we have to regenerate a lot of stuff. The ant 
> build has it all automated.
> You do need icu4c installed corresponding to the icu4j version to regenerate 
> some of the datastructures. There are also some java regenerators that do 
> processing of unicode data and so on.
> Will try to see if I can get this hobbling when I have the time, the icu 
> dependency is quite old at this point. The hard part for me is learning 
> gradle's crazy ways every time, but maybe i can start it off super-ugly with 
> something like shell script that everyone hates, but at least works 
> correctly.
