(2)Is it really necessary to check "Charset.isSupproted()"? The csn will be checked when the Charset is created later anyway, why do lookup twice. Yes, understood it can catch the problem 1-2 step(s) earlier, I double you want to pay that price. All parameters need to be checked before the file is created (or truncated). Did not consider that:-) an alternative is to get the encoder first then the file creation. Yes, that is the right thing to do and this also ensures that the encoder has the default action to report errors.
