Description

Minimally, the following classes in sun.io need to be deprecated in preparation
for the removal of the sun.io converter implementations in Mustang:

  src/share/classes/sun/io/ByteToCharConverter.java
  src/share/classes/sun/io/CharToByteConverter.java
  src/share/classes/sun/io/CharacterEncoding.java
  src/share/classes/sun/io/Converters.java

Charset support was completely re-written during Merlin (java.nio.charset). 
During Tiger, all of the supported converters were ported to use this new
API (sun.nio.cs).  The exising converter implemenations in sun.io merely
re-direct to the nio implementations.  

We do not recommend further use of sun.io converters.  Several bugs have
been filed to remove use of these converters in various parts of the JDK.
See bug 4454622.
