This is true for regular ResourceBundles, but not for Tapestry message catalogs. With Tapestry you can use any encoding, just make sure the file's encoding matches the "org.apache.tapestry.messages-encoding" setting. Like this:

<meta key="org.apache.tapestry.messages-encoding" value="utf-8"/>

and then make sure Eclipse saves all *.properties as UTF-8

 Malin,

It has nothing to do with Tomcat. It's a Java thing, really. Properties
files are not unicode, wich means that non-ASCII characters need to be
encoded. Usually your IDE should take care of this for you (in Netbeans this
support is built-in).

In Eclipse I'd recommend Eclipse ResourceBundle Editor:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-rbe/

A stand-alone app with similar features Zaval:

I had it working earlier on another server (which I don't have access to
anymore) so I shouldn't need to manipulate the files. I thought it would be
something with the Tomcat config maybe?

I use Tapestry 4.

They normally have to ( i use a property editor plugin that does this
on the fly ), but tapestry can determine the correct encoding (from
the filename i
think)
and make them work as is...

I don't remember if that's a Tap4-only feature however.
