Ok, late reply... To keep it short: I could not get rid of the BOM. The 
problem could be that I use kate (http://www.kate-editor.org/) to access 
the jsp files through webdavs:// which works fine, but it seems that once 
somehow that BOM appeared, I cannot get rid of it anymore.

Even opening the jsps directly in the workplace-editor, copy/pasting 
into a blank editor window, saving, reopening the file and re-copy/paste 
it back to the workplace-editor did not remove the BOM

Any other ideas... ?

Best regards,
Yves
