+    * netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/Parser.java:
+    (getRootNode): Used BufferedInputStream instead of InputStream to
+	have mark and reset method available. Passed the encoding to the
+	constructor of InputStreamReader, such that the stream will now
+	be parsed with the encoding the jnlp file is in.
+    (getEncoding): A new method which checks the first four bytes of input
+	and determines what the files encoding is.
