Support for Shift JIS (SJIS) encoding

Issue

Shift JIS (SJIS) is a, variable-width character encoding for Japanese, combining single-byte (ASCII/JIS X 0201) and double-byte (JIS X 0208) characters.

Environment

Community Commons (all versions)

Shift JIS is not supported.

The module only support the following formats:

This information is available in the enumeration StandardEncodings under the module Community Commons.

Solution/Workaround

As a workaround, the activities String from file and String to file can be copied into a separate module and the enumeration StandardEncodings extended.

Alternatively, a custom Java action can be implemented to handle Shift JIS encoding.
