JDK-4454622 - (cs) Most character conversion clients do not use NIO API
Description
The ideal fix for this bug
 
  4454622 (cs) Most character conversion clients do not use NIO API

is to get rid of sun.io entirely.  Unfortunately, due to constraints
beyond my control, we will be unable to do so in Tiger.  The fall-back
plan is to produce deprecation warnings when these files are used and
remove as many uses of the files in the j2se workspace as is feasible.
The package will be removed in mustang.

A quick search for all occurrences of "sun.io" reveals that there
three trivial uses in sun/tools:

  src/share/classes/sun/tools/tree/AddExpression.java
    -- reference in comments only
  src/share/classes/sun/tools/javac/BatchEnvironment.java
    -- unnecessary import
  src/share/classes/sun/tools/java/ScannerInputReader.java
    -- exception handling for MalformedInputException, should be changed
       to java.io.CharConversionException

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,

EVALUATION Ww will do this as part of the fix for 4819896 (as the sun.tools.{asm,java,javac,tree,util} classes move to within the rmic package hierarchy). ###@###.### 2003-07-08
