Test Scenario :
Creating property XML file using java.util.Properties.storeToXML() method by passing an encoding type (say "Cp875") . At the time of retrieving the same XML file using java.util.Properties.loadFromXML() method, its throwing the exception.

The same scenario works fine with encoding type "UTF-16" (and "UTF-8" too).

Notes :
1. Testcase is attached
2. Thrown Exception :
java.util.InvalidPropertiesFormatException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.
