Check with "locale charmap" what the encoding of the currently
set locale is. You should get "ISO-8859-1" with SuSE 7.0 and
"ISO 8859-15" with SuSE 7.2 for "LANG=de_DE". You should get
"UTF-8" for "LANG=de_DE.UTF-8".
If that is all right, then probably your application or JVM is broken and
does not check the locale correctly with "nl_langinfo(CODESET)". File a
bug report to whoever wrote it or check the source code how the output
charset is determined. May be some Java expert here knows more.

[Long-term tip: Think about whether that is a bad thing or a good thing.
You could as well go to de_DE.UTF-8 and work in a UTF-8 locale eventually
(might want to update to glibc 2.2 and XFree86 4 before).]
