> These constructors use the Java default platform encoding to convert the bytes to a String, this typically leads to bugs on platforms with different encodings.
> Replace with code using fixed conversion, or alternative mechanisms. 
> If the call is required its use should be commented as to why it is required.

> I generated this list using the Java search in eclipse for references to the constructors
> String(byte[])
> String(byte[],int,int) - no occurrrences in java/engine
