Thank you Alan for your response.
and to be clear, I think what you are doing here is adding IBM-1129 to java.base on AIX builds and adding it to jdk.charsets on other platforms. There isn't any build infrastructure at this time to do otherwise and maybe that is something that will come out of the other discussion thread.
Yes. Currently, it will be added to jdk.charsets for non-AIX platforms. Only two charsets which has to be in java.base on AIX platform is currently missing [Vi_VN.IBM-1129 & ja_JP.IBM-eucJP]. We are trying to add those two charsets so that openjdk can start on all locales for AIX-platforms. Once we decided the approach for IBM charsets on jdk.charsets in the other discussion thread, we can move all the IBM charsets (including these two new ones) to the new location. Hope that is acceptable. Please advise.

Hello,
I had kept aside this discussion for a while as there is a parallel discussion on whether to move the IBM charsets on openjdk to a different location or outside JDK[
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2018-July/054248.html
]. From that discussion, it is confirmed that the charsets in java.base will not be impacted irrespective the IBM charsets are moved to a new location or removed from openjdk. Hence, I believe we can proceed with this new charset as it requires to be in the java.base for AIX platform. and to be clear, I think what you are doing here is adding IBM-1129 to java.base on AIX builds and adding it to jdk.charsets on other platforms.
