Yes. Currently, it will be added to jdk.charsets for non-AIX platforms. Only two charsets which has to be in java.base on AIX platform is currently missing [Vi_VN.IBM-1129 & ja_JP.IBM-eucJP]. We are trying to add those two charsets so that openjdk can start on all locales for AIX-platforms. Once we decided the approach for IBM charsets on jdk.charsets in the other discussion thread, we can move all the IBM charsets (including these two new ones) to the new location. Hope that is acceptable. Please advise.

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. -Alan
