I was looking at the existing JDK 9 issues for some simple ones I could
solve and found this one. I wanted to know if it makes sense to add
additional constructors here?
Now you need to do this:
------------------------
try {
new PrintWriter(file, "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
// Ignore, this is required to be supported by the JVM.
}
The same applies also to the String constructor...
Instead the following behaviour is requested:
---------------------------------------------
new PrintWriter(file, StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
On the other hand then the next request will be to add constructors also
to specify autoflush and so on...
