Local fix

Problem summary

• charset x-IBM1379 depends on
  sun.nio.cs.ext.DBCS_IBM_EBCDIC_Decoder. In theory, any EBCDIC
  encoding should be removed from SFJ(cloud) build. Confirmed by
  TAKIGUC@jp.ibm.com,  IBM1379 is an EBCDIC encoding so that it
  depends on sun.nio.cs.ext.DBCS_IBM_EBCDIC_Decoder. SFJ build
  deliberately removed DBCS_IBM_EBCDIC_Decoder so any encoding
  refer to it should be removed.
  

Problem conclusion

• Remove IBM1379.class from SFJ build
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
     8    SR3 FP10  (8.0.3.10)
     7 R1 SR3 FP50  (7.1.3.50)
  .

  Refreshes and Fix Packs.
