This chapter includes these topics:

Adding Character Sets

Adding Locales

Adding Character Sets

Oracle Java Micro Edition Embedded Client supports the character sets mandated by the CDC 1.1.2 specification.

You can add character sets in any combination of the following ways:

Copy ojec1.1/extras/lib/converters.jar to ojec1.1/lib/. converters.jar contains additional character sets.
Add any charset that is compatible with the sun.io.converters API to the -bootclasspath option.

You cannot delete character sets that are mandated by the CDC specification.

Timezones

Oracle Java Micro Edition Embedded Client supports all Olson time zones. You cannot delete time zones.

Adding Locales

Oracle Java Micro Edition Embedded Client supports the en_US locale. You can add the locales defined in the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2.

To add the JRE locales, copy jre/lib/ext/localedata.jar to ojec1.1/lib/ext/.
