There is a tool in java SDK called native2ascii which allows you to convert
properties files to proper format from UTF8. I've used it succesfully with
properties files written in russian and polish.
You can use ant to convert properties files by putting following target in
ant's build.xml file:
<target description="convert" name="properties">
<native2ascii encoding="UTF8" src="${resourceDir}" dest="${classesDir}"
includes="**/*.properties"/>
</target>
then it is enough to call this target during compilation.
