IOT service client 1.17.1
(implementation group: 'com.microsoft.azure.sdk.iot', name: 'iot-service-client', version: '1.17.1')

twinClient.getTwin(device) throws the following exception

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.nio.charset.IllegalCharsetNameException: java.nio.charset.CharsetICU[UTF-8]

at com.microsoft.azure.sdk.iot.service.devicetwin.DeviceTwin.getTwin(DeviceTwin.java:88)
The crash occurs only for Java 8.
The exception is caused at line number 80 in the class IotHubServiceSasToken.java due to the following statement:
String.valueOf(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
Using StandardCharsets.UTF_8.displayName() would prevent the exception.

However since I need to use Java 8, is there a work around to get this working?
