FWIW getBytes(Charset) doesn't throw, and there's a base set of charsets in StandardCharsets (1.7+):

    someString.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
(Charset.forName doesn't throw either, StandardCharsets avoid stringly-typed code but it's not available on 1.6 so if you're still stuck there Charset.forName works)

You see the same thing with cipher suites, and there's unfortunately no `StandardCiphers` class.

yeah I know, this was just the first example that came to mind.
