iconv

Is there a way to achieve transliteration of characters between charsets in java? something similar to the unix command (or similar php function):

iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT < some_doc.txt  > new_doc.txt

preferably operating on strings, not having anything to do with files

I know you can can change encodings with the String constructor, but that doesn't handle transliteration of characters that aren't in the resulting charset.
