Hi Boris, I now have compiled a customised JAR including charset CP1153 for you: https://java-nio-charset-enhanced.dev.java.net/source/browse/java-nio-charse... Usage (be aware to run with Java 6): java -Xbootclasspath/p:nio_charset_M4_customer_IBM1153.jar [-cp YourProject.jar] YourMainClass The canonical name of the charset in question is "IBM01153". Anyway (I guess, you would more prefer it in standard Java library) I would be thankful, if you would give it a try, just for feedback on my efforts. -Ulf Am 10.02.2009 20:22, Ulf Zibis schrieb:
Hi Boris,
I'm on the way, to include extended charsets in my project https://java-nio-charset-enhanced.dev.java.net/ in footprint saving way. Give me some more 2..3 weeks. Then it would be easy for me to compile a special jar for you, which you could preload via -Xbootclasspath/p:, if you are using Java version 6.

Hi everybody!
Is there any possibility that a further charset (HOST IBM CP1153/1375 Latin 2 - EBCDIC Multilingual) will be part of a next JRE version or update? It is quite a new charset and is simular to IBM870, but has the EURO sign in addition. As more and more countries in eastern europe change their currency to euro or use it for payment, it is getting more and more important (in particular for mainframes).
We have a problem just now with a DB2 java driver, which does not support this charset because it is at the moment not part of the standard JVM.
Thanks for your reply in advance!
Best regards
