Description
As part of the preparation for JEP 260 [1], and the cleanup of technical debt in sun.misc, I am proposing to remove the character coders. Base abstract classes for the coders. $ hg rm src/java.base/share/classes/sun/misc/CharacterEncoder.java $ hg rm src/java.base/share/classes/sun/misc/CharacterDecoder.java Base64, replaced with standard API in Java SE 8 [2]. $ hg rm src/java.base/share/classes/sun/misc/BASE64Decoder.java $ hg rm src/java.base/share/classes/sun/misc/BASE64Encoder.java Uuencoding [3], most recently seen in use back in 2006 in ant 1.6.5, before being replaced in 1.7.0 with their own copy. $ hg rm src/java.base/share/classes/sun/misc/UUDecoder.java $ hg rm src/java.base/share/classes/sun/misc/UUEncoder.java Lesser known coders designed to convert binary data into printable characters. The characters are assumed to exist, but they are not assumed to be ASCII. No sightings in the wild! $ hg rm src/java.base/share/classes/sun/misc/UCDecoder.java $ hg rm src/java.base/share/classes/sun/misc/UCEncoder.java Related tests: $ hg rm test/sun/misc/Encode/ removing test/sun/misc/Encode/DecodeBuffer.java removing test/sun/misc/Encode/Encode.java removing test/sun/misc/Encode/GetBytes.java [1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8132928 [2] http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Base64.html [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uuencoding
