[Bug classpath/30593] no JavaSrc encoders

[tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #1 from tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-01-26 01:59 -------
Mark asked on irc so I thought I would expand.

A JavaSrc encoder applies a transform mentioned in the JLS.
It turns non-ascii characters into the sequence \uNNNN.
If it sees a literal \uNNNN in the input stream, this is turned
into \\uNNNN.  (And likewise for any number of \s)

The decoder goes the other way, turning \uNNNN into a unicode
character and stripping a \ from other forms.

IOW it is an encoder that handles what native2ascii is currently
doing in plain old code.
