Description

Please create an interface "Encoding" plus a set of useful defaults (UTF_8, ISO_LATIN_1, CP_1250 and CP_1252).

Use this interface in all places where "String encoding" is used now. This would make the API more reliable, improve code reuse and reduce futile catch blocks for UnsupportedEncodingException.
