Hi,
Formerly, when Kaffe had original ByteToChar and CharToByte converters,
we could use such Japanese charsets or charset aliases as EUC_JP,
Shift_JIS, and MS932.
Now that kaffe uses gnu.java.nio.charset.iconv package, those charsets
cannot be used any more.
EUC_JP: missing in the aliases list of EUC-JP.
Shift_JIS: iconv's behavior may be correct in the light of the standard,
but in the real life, we need something slightly deifferent.
See http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=13111
MS932 or officially Windows-31J:
iconv does not support this. iconv does support CP932,
which is similar to MS932, but iconv's CP932 is slightly
different from MS932.
As a solution of this issue, I have made my own CharsetProvider as
a wrapper of gnu.java.nio.charset.iconv.IconvProvider and put it at
http://www.jsdi.or.jp/~maczuka/kaffe/IconvJapaneseCharsetProvider.java
I would like to contibute this to Kaffe. Where in the source tree
should I put it ?
