java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: unicode-1-1-utf-7?

Question

Looks like OpenJDK can't handle unicode-1-1-utf-7? How can we remedy that?

Answer 1

Apparently, UTF-7 is not a Java supported encoding: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html

Workaround: 1. Download a jar in http://www.freeutils.net/source/jcharset/ 2. Put a jar implementation of this encoding in your buildpath/classpath
