We're thinking about removing native2ascii from JDK because we think
very few people are using it.
There are several other convenient ways to do native-to-ascii
conversion. For example, IDEs like NetBeans and IntelliJ support the
transparent native-to-ascii conversion. There is also maven native 2
ascii plugin. These tools are better integration to the
build/development process than the standalone native2ascii CLI.
In addition, JEP 226 proposes to support UTF Properties file that will
address the original motivation of creating the native2ascii tool.
Any comment?
