Javadoc for java.nio.charset.Charset says:
...
 The empty string is not a legal charset name.
...
So, java.nio.charset.Charset.forName(String) should throw
IllegalCharsetNameException with empty string.

Here is the example:

-------test.java---------
import java.nio.charset.*;

public class test {
    public static void main (String [] args) {
        try {
            Charset.forName("");
            System.out.println("IllegalCharsetNameException expected");
            return;
        } catch(IllegalCharsetNameException e) { } catch (UnsupportedCharsetException e) {
            System.out.println("Unexpected " + e);
            return;
        }
        System.out.println("OKAY");
    }
}

Here is the result
#java -version

java version "1.4.2-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-beta-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-beta-b16, mixed mode)

#java test
