Ah, just answered this on the mauve list. The Java Class libries Second Edition Volume 1 lists them under the String constructor description. An online copy can be found at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html in the column "Canonical Name for java.io and java.lang API" > Is running a program like the one attached below in Sun's java an ok way > of gathering the information needed to implement the "historical > charset" functionality? If there is no public documentation and there are no (free) programs depending on a feature/implementation detail then you don't have to go out of the way to support such things. > If nothing unforeseen happens I might be contributing code to classpath > in the future.
