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 Boris Just
No plan to add them yet. With the java.nio.charset.spi introduced into JDK since 1.4, developers and third party vendors are encouraged to implement the new charsets themself via SPI, when those charsets are not included in the JDK/JRE default chraset repository and they are needed in their business. That said, we consantly consider the possibility of adding more charsets into the JDK/JRE default repository, should need/request be justified. Sherman Boris.Just@wuestenrot.at wrote:

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. -Ulf Am 10.02.2009 15:38, Boris.Just@wuestenrot.at schrieb:

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 Ulf, Thank you very much for your effort! In the meantime, our Database Management contacted IBM direct. According to IBM,it seems that there is actually a problem, when this codepage is not part of the official JRE release. So their DB2 driver cannot be adapted to this IBM1153 charset. We are just now in waiting queue. Besides I will try to test your customized JAR. But I dont't know rigth now, when this will happen (during the next 6 weeks, I hope so). Another problem also arised because we are just now limited to Java Runtime 1.5. minimum. So it can happen, that we cannot use your new version.

Hi Boris, thanks for your answer. I've tried to compile my sources against JDK 5. Unfortunately they didn't, because a few methods are used, which are only present in 1.6. So it would need some work, to make my sources compatible to JDK 5. -Ulf Am 02.04.2009 11:22, Boris.Just@wuestenrot.at schrieb:
