It looks like a BOM for UTF-8. Are you downloading this on a Windows machine, and is the file generated on a non-Windows machine? I have added -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to almost the end of my netbeans_default_options in netbeans.conf. The end option is for bigger fonts. The error shows up as an unrecognizable (at least to me) character at the beginning of the file. Delete that character and the file validates. . . . just my two cents /mde/
