Hello Alan.

I opened JDK-8215333 for Charset filtering issue [1]. I cannot wait until JDK-8215333 is closed. Is it possible to put IBM-29626C charset with standard way ?

[1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8215333

Thanks, Ichiroh Takiguchi

Hello Roger, Magnus and Alan. I may need to put alias information into charsets file. stdcs-xxx cannot handle this information...

Still AIX needs IBM-29626C charset for default encoding... I appreciate if you give me further suggestions. Thanks, Ichiroh Takiguchi On 2018-12-10 20:50, Alan Bateman wrote: On 10/12/2018 11:01, Magnus Ihse Bursie wrote:

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. -Alan
