Hello Martin.
I know your point, but it's default encoding issue.
User cannot start OpenJDK JDK9/10/11/12 on ja_JP(IBM29626C) and
zh_TW(IBM964)
locale on AIX.
But IBM964 cannot be used for default encoding in current setting.
This fix is really required on OpenJDK for AIX.
No issue with adding more charset's to java.base in the AIX build but if
I read the webrev correctly then it adds IBM29626C, IBM33722, and IBM964
to non-AIX platforms. There is some interest in jettisoning all the IBM
charsets (you've probably seen the length threads on that) so I'm a bit
concerned that adding more will just make it a bit harder to remove them
in the future. Maybe it is time to accelerate the make file changes that
we were discussing with Nassar so that these new charsets aren't
compiled and included on other platforms.
