      Minimally, the following classes in sun.io need to be deprecated in preparation
      for the removal of the sun.io converter implementations in Mustang:

        src/share/classes/sun/io/ByteToCharConverter.java
        src/share/classes/sun/io/CharToByteConverter.java
        src/share/classes/sun/io/CharacterEncoding.java
        src/share/classes/sun/io/Converters.java

      Charset support was completely re-written during Merlin (java.nio.charset).
      During Tiger, all of the supported converters were ported to use this new
      API (sun.nio.cs). The exising converter implemenations in sun.io merely
      re-direct to the nio implementations.

      We do not recommend further use of sun.io converters. Several bugs have
      been filed to remove use of these converters in various parts of the JDK.
      See bug 4454622.
