Where can I find some character decoders for the non-officially supported charsets? I.e. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, surely someone must have already written some decoders for their own purposes or as a library?
Thanks!
Thanks! Unfortunately, it's far from enough. I mean, the more usual charsets that are on the net, are not included. Thanks for the bother!

Yeah, it are only a handful... You might get better response if you mention the charset you are looking for.

I am looking for quite a few charsets: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752010(v=VS.85).aspx Except for the chinese/japanese/korean/hindi/hebrew/etc. I need all the others :-)

A:
The sources from libiconv will do perfectly! It's a pity that I'll have to write the code of the decoders myself, but the thanks to the fact that I need to support only single-byte encodings (apart from UTF-8), it's going to be a piece-of-cake job.
Thanks for the support!
Update
I've written my own reader with its decoders. AlbiteStreamReader provides the ability to read characters from encodings, not natively supported by Java's InputStreamReader:
- UTF-8,
- ASCII,
- ISO-8859-1,
- ISO-8859-2,
- ISO-8859-3,
- ISO-8859-4,
- ISO-8859-5,
- ISO-8859-7,
- ISO-8859-9,
- ISO-8859-10,
- ISO-8859-13,
- ISO-8859-14,
- ISO-8859-15,
- ISO-8859-16,
- WINDOWS-1250,
- WINDOWS-1251,
- WINDOWS-1252,
- WINDOWS-1253,
- WINDOWS-1254,
- WINDOWS-1257,
- KOI8-R,
- KOI8-RU,
- KOI8-U
And it works in J2ME, too.
Sources & binaries can be found at github.
