[7u-dev] Request for approval to backport 8003228: (props) sun.jnu.encoding should be set to UTF-8 [macosx], (plus follow-up test fixes 8005962 & 8006039)

[Brent Christian]

Hi,

I would like to request backport of:
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8003228
After 8003228 went into jdk8, two test bugs were subsequently filed and 
fixed:
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8005962
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8006039

I would like to push all 3 at once to avoid introducing test failures.

The webrev against jdk7u-dev containing the 3 fixes is here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/jdk7u-dev/8003228/webrev.0/

An automated build+test cycle on supported platforms shows no new test 
failures.

Discussion of the jdk8 fix can be found at [1] and [2].

Thanks,
-Brent
