IIRC VS will recognize UTF-8 encoded files if they start with a byte
order mark (BOM) but Java usually doesn't write one. I think I once
found the setting for reading/writing UTF-8 in VS, will need to search
for it when at work.
If you have a JDK installed you can use its native2ascii tool that can
be used to replace non-ASCII characters with Unicoce escape sequences
that you can then use in C# as well (see Nicolas' post).
If you have Ant installed (sorry, can't resist ;-) you can convert the
whole tree in one (untested) go with something like
<copy todir="will-hold-translated-files"
encoding="utf8">
<fileset dir="holds-original-files"/>
<escapeunicode/>
</copy>
