Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-995:
------------------------------------
In reviewing the Charsets class only the UTF_8 constant is actually used
outside of test code. The other constants and the methods are only used in test
code. The single UTF_8 constant should really just be moved to the Constants
class and the Charsets class removed.
> Improve documentation of Charsets class

> The javadoc for org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.Charsets gives the
> impression that the class was somehow copied from code in the JDK. In
> reviewing the code it is clear that the purpose of the class was to make a
> version of the charset constants defined in Java 7 and beyond available in
> Java 6. As such, the names of the constants will necessarily be similar and
> there is only one reasonable way to initialize them.
> The javadoc should be changed to make it clear what the purpose of the class
> is and identify the constants as a reference to the StandardCharsets class.
