*Request*

  I want to specify encoding names by IANA
registered, MIME preferred names.
  For example, use "ISO-2022-JP" equivalently to
"JIS", "ISO-8859-1" to "8859_1", "Shift_JIS" to
"SJIS", "EUC-JP" to "EUCJIS".

EVALUATION Planned for Merlin. norbert.lindenberg@Eng 2000-01-26 I believe that the submitters request is largely fulfilled by the introduction of the java.nio.charset API/SPI in J2SE 1.4 (4313884) and the subsequent addition of support for CJK and other national standard/de-facto charset support added in J2SE 1.4.1 (4726545). The java.nio.charset API introduces a canonical name for each Charset concrete instance and where MIME-preferred names are known for a specific charset the canonical name aligns with that MIME preferred name. Closing this bug out as duplicate of 4313884 (also refer to 4726545 for list of new I/O supported Charsets added as of 1.4.1. ###@###.### 01/09/2003 ###@###.### 2003-01-09
