[Announcement]: Codebuilder plugin for Eclipse runtime dependencies

Hello Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications 2017 Users,

Some Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications 2017 R2 users have observed an error box when their Eclipse instance loads up the Codebuilder plugin. The error box prohibits the user’s ability to use the plugin. Here is a screen shot of an example error box:

We’ve confirmed some mitigations. In short, Ubuntu 16.04.4 was used with Eclipse 4.7 (Oxygen) to confirm libicu52 dynamic runtimes are needed for Codebuilder as distributed in Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications 2017 R2.
