Hi,

It is a nice feature that charsets are selected at build time using the stdcs-xxx files. This change breaks that pattern and embeds os specific information in more than one place. That does not seem like an improvement.  Is there any alternative? I agree. Why is it not enough just to add it to stdcs-aix? My reading of the patch is that the "os" key is to avoid generating it on non-AIX platforms, it will otherwise end up in jdk.charsets on non-AIX platforms. The general direction is welcome but I think further work and discussion will be needed to get the right set of changes to support filtering in the build. It can probably be separated from the changes to add IBM-29626C to AIX's java.base.
