JDK-4779029 - Need feature complete NIO ISO-2022-CN-* coders (encode & decode)
Description
There are two documentation changes required regarding ISO-2022-CN encoding, which is a conversion to Unicode only, support in Java.  

First one is that in the supported encodings page for 1.4.1 and 1.4.2,  ISO2022CN (equivalent name to ISO-2022-JP in java.io package) is missing.  

The second one is in the 1.4.2 release notes, that we should describe that we pulled the support for those ISO-2022-CN encodings in Mantis from java.nio which is fixed by 4779029.  Even though 1.4.1 implementation was broken, we should describe this change in the release notes as this could be regarded as a compatibility issue.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ###@###.### supplied the words and I added it to the release notes: In J2SE 1.4.2. both ISO-2022-CN-CNS and ISO-2022-CN-GB encoding support have been removed from the java.nio.charset API. It is still possible to use java.io or java.lang.String APIs to encode an input stream or String into these target encodings. J2SE 1.4.1 previewed a limited (but incomplete) ISO-2022-CN-* java.nio charset support. The limitations include the inability to perform round-trip conversion and specifically the existence of bug 4737614 "sun.nio.cs.ext.ISO2022_CN_CNS.newDecoder() returns null". ###@###.### 2003-05-01
