Hello, I am not sure if this is the correct mailing list to send this mail to. Please apologize any inconvenience caused.
The JDK 7 documentation of class java.nio.charset.spi.CharsetProvider states the following: [...] Charset providers are looked up via the current thread's context class loader. [...] Looking at method 'private static Iterator providers()' of class 'java.nio.charset.Charset', the above documentation seems incorrect since that method uses the system class loader. ClassLoader cl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(); ServiceLoader<CharsetProvider> sl = ServiceLoader.load(CharsetProvider.class, cl); Is this intended ? Regards, -- Christian Schulte
