Trying to extend a CharsetConverter

I get the compiler error:

can not resolve symbol:
Symbol: CharToByte8859_1
location: package io
import: sun.io.CharToByte8859_1;

with the following bit of code:

import sun.io.CharToByte8859_1;

public class <class-name> extends CharToByte8859_1{

...
}

Could someone help with this?

you are cheating. You are not supposed to use these sun.* classes only
indirectly.

The class file lives in C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\lib\charsets.jar

What happens if you put this jar explicitly on the classpath?
