Hello,
I had kept aside this discussion for a while as there is a parallel
discussion on whether to move the IBM charsets on openjdk to a different
location or outside JDK[
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2018-July/054248.html
]. From that discussion, it is confirmed that the charsets in java.base
will not be impacted irrespective the IBM charsets are moved to a new
location or removed from openjdk. Hence, I believe we can proceed with
this new charset as it requires to be in the java.base for AIX platform.
and to be clear, I think what you are doing here is adding IBM-1129 to
java.base on AIX builds and adding it to jdk.charsets on other
platforms. There isn't any build infrastructure at this time to do
otherwise and maybe that is something that will come out of the other
discussion thread.
