[mkgmap-dev] StandardCharsets and try (with-resources)

Fri Jan 17 12:53:12 GMT 2020

Hi Gerd

Attached patch

- uses StandardCharsets.* where possible.

- notes some usage of the java local DefaultCharset.

- changed a couple of these to force utf-8 instead.

- if --read-config file gives decoding errors, names the charset used
to read the file (ie DefaultCharset) instead of 'utf-8' in the error
message.

- accepts/ignores unicode BOM in more files

- uses try (open...) {} where possible in files changed for the above
reasons.

There is some code in mkgmap/srt/SrtTextReader.java:sortForCodepage()
that I don't understand; it would appear to get into a recursive loop
on IOException.
