Did you copy/paste code from internet ? There may be some invisible characters. — Zang MingJie, Oct 15 '15 at 10:33

You have invisible character in these lines, \8232 is line separator. Possibly you copied it somewhere.

Try to paste it in Notepad/TextEdit and copy text from there. Point is to get rid of formatting and extra characters. Or you can just delete these lines and retype them manually.

Thanks. I Remember i copied it from SubLime Editor - hence the formatting. It works now. :) – Coding John Oct 15 '15 at 10:53

private InputStream checkForUtf8BOMAndDiscardIfAny(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {
 PushbackInputStream pushbackInputStream = new PushbackInputStream(new 
 BufferedInputStream(inputStream), 3);
 byte[] bom = new byte[3];
 if (pushbackInputStream.read(bom) != -1) {
    if (!(bom[0] == (byte) 0xEF && bom[1] == (byte) 0xBB && bom[2] == (byte) 0xBF)) {
        pushbackInputStream.unread(bom);
    }
 }
 return pushbackInputStream; 
}
