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.    

Thank you,
Nasser Ebrahim

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.
