1.4.2_12Resolved

Two tests from Libraries SQE testsuite (NIOCharsetAvailabilityTest and CheckHistoricalNames) failed with 1.4.2_12b01 on various platforms (at least Solaris 10 on  sun4u and amd64, winXP on x86)  while they passed on the same platforms with 1.4.2_11FCS. Latter test looks like the one mentioned in other CR 6394302, but that test comes from different (regression) workspace. Steps to reproduce:
1. Testsuite is located at /net/jqa.ireland/jqa6/dtf/dtf_ws/suites/142_Suites/142_Libs
2. testlist to be used is 142_12b01.fail under testlist directory of testsuite location.
3. You can run testsuite as standalone or under DTF using the mentioned testlist.
This is a cross-platform regression from 1.4.2_11FCS to 1.4.2_12b01.
Let me know if you need more info or help to reproduce CR.

EVALUATION sun.nio.cs.Unicode should be removed from the test list as the "known pseudo charset". So NIOCharsetAvailabilityTest needs to be modified to reflect this into the component testsuite. j2se/test regression testsuite test is correct and need NO modification. Add following line charsets.remove(Class.forName("sun.nio.cs.Unicode")); to remove the test near line # 74
