I was working on an issue with a customer about supported locales. The JDK comes in two varieties: one is for only western languages including European languages, and the other is multilingual. This includes languages like Thai which have different glyphs. The supported encodings for Java 6 are defined here:
Supported Encodings. The issue was a download of the standard JDK download on Windows which does not include
charsets.jar for use in an international application.
I figured out the issue by creating a simple web application to check the encodings. I figured I would provide it just in case other folks may be able to use it Otherwise it would just be good simple code gone to waste. Here is a link to the maven project:
