Description

Only one text files in ofbiz have a UTF-8 BOM (Byte Order Mark).
applications/order/widget/ordermgr/LookupScreens.xml

copy paste wikipedia :
he Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8, but does not require or recommend its use. Byte order has no meaning in UTF-8, so its only use in UTF-8 is to signal at the start that the text stream is encoded in UTF-8.

It seem that UTF-8 BOM generate problem only on Mac plaform when reading file with the java Reader class.
I have not searched why, it seems more easy to remove BOM from this file.
