Method
public static final java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor
   getTextPlainUnicodeFlavor()

returns flavor with null charset
that is different of what javadoc says:
--------------------------------------------------
    /**
     * Returns a <code>DataFlavor</code> representing plain text with Unicode
     * encoding, where:
     * <pre>
     * representationClass = java.io.InputStream
     * mimeType = "text/plain;
     * charset=<platform default Unicode encoding>"
     * </pre>
     * The Win32 Sun implementations use the encoding <code>utf-16le</code>.
     * The Solaris and Linux Sun implementations use the encoding
     * <code>iso-10646-ucs-2</code>.
     *
     * @return a <code>DataFlavor</code> representing plain text
     * with Unicode encoding
     */
    public static final DataFlavor getTextPlainUnicodeFlavor() {

This causes to fail folowing jck merlin test:
api/java_awt/datatransfer/DataFlavor/index.html#rclass[DataFlavor2010]
At this time (1/24/2001) updated version of this test is not in CUP
merlin workspace.
