Hi Mandy,
If there is agreement on this internally, I suggest floating a trial
balloon on jdk9-dev.
Cheers,

There are several existing ways to do native to ascii conversion. For
example, IDEs like NetBeans and IntelliJ support the transparent
native-to-ascii conversion. There is also maven native 2 ascii plugin.
JEP 226 proposes to support UTF Properties file that will address the
original motivation of creating the native2ascii tool.
While native2ascii used to be a convenient tool for some developers to
use, it may be time to remove it in JDK 9 and developers can use IDEs
and Maven plugin and other build tools.
Any thought?
