No plan to add them yet. With the java.nio.charset.spi introduced into JDK since 1.4, developers and third party vendors are encouraged to implement the new charsets themself via SPI, when those charsets are not included in the JDK/JRE default chraset repository and they are needed in their business. That said, we consantly consider the possibility of adding more charsets into the JDK/JRE default repository, should need/request be justified.

Hi everybody! Is there any possibility that a further charset (HOST IBM CP1153/1375 Latin 2 - EBCDIC Multilingual) will be part of a next JRE version or update? It is quite a new charset and is simular to IBM870, but has the EURO sign in addition. As more and more countries in eastern europe change their currency to euro or use it for payment, it is getting more and more important (in particular for mainframes). We have a problem just now with a DB2 java driver, which does not support this charset because it is at the moment not part of the standard JVM. Thanks for your reply in advance!
