Charset.availableCharsets()

[column]

Hello,

Charset.availableCharsets() returns a lot of charsets (additionally it
returns windows-1257=windows-1257).

But why it doesn't contains Charset.defaultCharset(), that is
windows-1257-110-84? I think default charset name should be from the
Charset.availableCharsets() array.




Thank You

<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/nio/charset/Charset.html#availableCharsets()>
states:

"...
This method may return different results at different times if new
charset providers are dynamically made available to the current Java
virtual machine.

Here's my guess.
It is not available on any machine but yours. It is not one of Sun's
charsets. It is supported only by your OS, and is the current default
you have configured.

Note that windows-1257 Balic rim IS supported.

But why [Charset.availableCharsets()] doesn't contains Charset.defaultCharset(), that is

Charset.availableCharsets() array.

How are you testing this?

Charset.availableCharsets().containsValue(Charset.defaultCharset())
Charset.availableCharsets().containsKey(Charset.defaultCharset().toString())
Charset.availableCharsets().containsKey(Charset.defaultCharset().name())
