JDK-6832110 - regression java/nio/charset/Charset/NIOCharsetAvailabilityTest.java fails on 6u14b04
Description
J2RE 1.4.1 includes all the nio classes to support MS950_HKSCS, but if you check for this encoding using java.nio.charset.Charset.isSupported or java.nio.charset.Charset.availableCharsets, it's not supported. Apparently the necessary table entries in the CharsetProvider implementation are missing.

EVALUATION Provider entry missing in src/share/classes/sun/nio/cs/ext/ExtendedCharsets.java. Also I have noticed that the canonical name specified for this charset is "MS950-HKSCS" and it should be "x-MS950-HKSCS" since this is not an officially IANA registered charset. ###@###.### 2002-11-13
