I'm currently looking at the implementation of the Persistence API from:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/eclipselink/javax.persistence.git/

There is a bug in the 
javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProviderResolverHolder.DefaultPersistenceProviderResolver.addProviderNames(URL, Collection<ProviderName>)

file:
src/javax/persistence/spi/PersistenceProviderResolverHolder.java

According to the JavaDoc of the ServiceLoader class, the services file
must be encoded in UTF-8:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html

So when running with "file.encoding=IBM-273" the service class is
getting read from above service file with the incorrect encoding and
later the class cannot be found!

I think the correct fix would be to either use the ServiceLoader class
or always read the file with encoding UTF-8.
