Kazunori's mail didn't mention the JDK build he is using, it may have
been JDK 8 rather than JDK 9.
since what differs between 1.4 and 1.5 was apparently whether or not
the empty string was to be accepted as a valid Charset...
So yes, if we can get rid of the test altogether, we'll be even better
off!
JDK-4786884 is the original issue. If there was any code dependent on
the broken behavior in 1.4 then I would expect it should have been fixed
by now. So I think it can be removed.
