A service provider module appears to be the recommended approach according
the Java api documentation. However writing charset classes is made a lot
more difficult by not having the sun.nio.cs

Hi Alan,
My understanding is that java.base only exports sun.nio.cs to jdk.charsets
i.e java.base module-info.java has:
...
exports sun.nio.cs to
java.desktop,
jdk.charsets;
...
and jdk.charsets has:
module jdk.charsets {
provides
sun.nio.cs.ext.ExtendedCharsets;
}
So jdk.charsets can use sun.nio.cs, whereas my module can not.
Am I missing something?

We would like to migrate a number of the IBM charsets (which don't need to
be in java.base) to a modular charset provider.
However, as written today our charset classes rely on sun.nio.cs classes
and definitions, which are no longer visible. For example
