<br>
Yes, I think this need discussion on whether the JDK really needs to keep including and adding more EBCDIC charsets. I understand they can be useful for someone using JDBC to connect to a database on z/OS but this scenario would work equally well if the EBCDIC
charsets were deployed on the class path or module path. Do you know if the icu4j project is still alive? I've often wondered why there wasn't more use of the provider mechanism.<br>
