Hi, Claes pointed out that our own reflective hacks to figure out console encoding do not work anymore [1]. But, we need the console encoding for reliably printing on the console from within different sources. Note that you would normally just use System.console() and its PrintWriter, but reality is a bit more complicated, and sometimes you need to write the plain char stream directly into the byte[]-accepting methods, encoding on your own.
So, my question: should we, in the light of extended Jigsaw-solving crunch, provide the public Console.encoding() method that would return the console charset? Thanks, -Aleksey [1] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jmh-dev/2016-September/002330.html
