Please note that a .properties file use the ISO 8859-1 character encoding,
so using UTF-8 characters in those files is not supported. See the
javadocs for java.util.RecourceBundle, java.util.PropertyResourceBundle
and java.util.Properties; especially this part:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#encoding

BTW, struts uses java.util.Properies directly.
