As David explains below you have to embed the String you create (I suppose
reading the property) into a StringBuilder

I think I have a related issue to this. I have .properties files with
table headings in them. I used to be able to put a br tag <br> in the
content of my labels to break two words.
ex.
"Cust.<br>Order# "
would turn into
"
Cust.
Order#
"
on my display, now it sends it literally. How do I get the old behavior
back?

As a general practice when you run into things like this you can
usually find your answer pretty quickly by looking at commit logs, and
by looking at code in OOTB OFBiz that does something similar to what
you are trying to do. In this case, for example looking at the
productdetail screen and the groovy and ftl files that it uses will
give you an example of how to handle this now.
The important thing to know is that now all String objects are
automatically HTML encoded (using the OWASP ESAPI library). To avoid
it, just use anything other than a String object. The normal way to do
this is to create your script dynamically using a StringBuilder, and
then just leave it as a StringBuilder instead of calling toString() on
it before putting it in the context. Then it won't get HTML encoded...
On a side note, I know that the OOTB code isn't the best example of
this, but usually it is best to generate your JavaScript in the FTL
file. If you are dynamically generating any sort of text a template
file is usually the best tool to use and results in the cleanest and
easiest to maintain code.
And as a bonus, you'll avoid this encoding issue too. In fact, part of
the decision to do this general encoding is to encourage the practice
of using templates for what they are meant to be used for.
Best of luck,

Because I have the problem only with generated Javascript script with
Groovy.
An idea ?

Subject: Javascript is parsed to HTML (Freemarker ?)
Hi,
I updated my working copy
*** Now all javascript are parsed to HTML (and appear in screen, just
for my own application, Ecommerce is OK)
Script tags are ok.
Ex. in source :
<script language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript"><!--
Do you know where I can configure Freemarker ?
In HTML head tag, some chars are parsed too.
