I'm very sure the property files that work are not utf-8 encoded but iso-8895-1 encoded.
You can use ÄÖÜß and so on with no problem in property files (we do it), just be very sure they are iso-8895-1 encoded. If you use Eclipse, right click on the file, open Properties and look at the Text file Encoding.

After you mentioned the first time that there are problems concerning properties files in UTF-8 I also found this and similar articles on the sam topic. I would quietly accept this, if my special characters were displayed wrong all over the application and in other applications too, but i can't understand why this should be a general Java problem even though in 99% of cases my special characters are displayed properly.
