Ok seems like this won't get me anywhre. I just can repeat: All my properties filese are 100% encoded in UTF-8 (checked this in eclipse and in an external editor) and all umlauts are displayed properly (except in the special case described above).
To this problem you mentioned concerning Java Properties Files and UTF-8 encoding i just can guess, that it seems that this problem doesn't inflict the usage of properties inside tapestry. After i did a lot of testing concerning encoding both on UNIX and Windows machines, i just can say that special characters in UTF-8 are display properly (except in the special case described above) as long you set the concerning meta information in .application or rather in .library properly.
