In Mustang, we plan to remove sun.io. The logger should not use this old
API in anticipation of this change.

I believe that this approximates the changes that need to be made:

java.util.logging.Handler:

old:

  if (encoding != null) {
      // Check the encoding exists.
      sun.io.CharToByteConverter.getConverter(encoding);
  }
  this.encoding = encoding;

new:

  if (encoding != null
     && !java.nio.charset.Charset.isSupported(encoding))
     throw new UnsupportedEncodingException(encoding);
  }


java.util.logging.XMLFormatter.getHead:

old:

  encoding = sun.io.Converters.getDefaultEncodingName();

new:

  encoding = java.nio.charset.Charset.defaultCharset().name();
