As one suggested, i went through implementation of resource bundle.. but that did not help.. as the bundle was always called under en_US locale... i tried to set my default locale to a different language and still my implementation of resource bundle control was being called with en_US... i tried to put log messages and do a step through debug and see if a different local call was being made after i change locale at run time through xhtml and JSF calls... that did not happend... then i tried to do a system set default to a utf8 for reading files by my server (tomcat server).. but that caused pronlem as all my class libraries were not compiled under utf8 and tomcat started to read then in utf8 format and server was not running properly... then i ended up with implementing a method in my java controller to be called from xhtml files.. in that method i did the following:

        public String message(String key, boolean toUTF8) throws Throwable{
            String result = "";
            try{
                FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
                String message = context.getApplication().getResourceBundle(context, "messages").getString(key);

                result = message==null ? "" : toUTF8 ? new String(message.getBytes("iso8859-1"), "utf-8") : message;
            }catch(Throwable t){}
            return result;
        }

我特别紧张，因为这可能会降低我应用程序的性能……然而，在实现这个之后，看起来好像我的应用程序现在更快了。我认为这是因为，我现在直接访问属性，而不是让JSF解析其访问属性的方式…我特别在这个调用中传递布尔参数，因为我知道一些属性不会被翻译，不需要在utf8格式…

现在我已经以UTF8格式保存了我的属性文件，它工作正常，因为我的应用程序中的每个用户都有一个引用的区域设置偏好。

注意:在Java <= 8 Java属性文件应该编码在ISO 8859-1!

ISO 8859-1字符编码。 不能直接输入的字符 用这种编码表示可以 使用Unicode转义符编写;只有 允许输入一个“u”字符 转义序列。

Java文档

如果你真的想这样做:看看: Eclipse中的Java属性UTF-8编码——有一些代码示例

因为Java 9:属性文件是用UTF-8编码的，所以应该没有问题/疑问

在Java SE 9中，属性文件以UTF-8编码方式加载。在以前的版本中，ISO-8859-1编码用于加载属性资源包。

(https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/intl/internationalization -改进- jdk 9. - htm # jsint guid - 9 - dcdb41c a989 - 4220 - 8140 - dbfb844a0fca)

这个问题终于在Java 9中得到了解决: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/intl/internationalization-enhancements-jdk-9

属性文件的默认编码现在是UTF-8。

大多数现有属性文件不应受到影响:UTF-8和 ISO-8859-1对ASCII字符有相同的编码 人类可读的非ascii ISO-8859-1编码不是有效的UTF-8。如果一个 检测到无效的UTF-8字节序列，Java运行时 自动重新读取ISO-8859-1中的文件。

我尝试使用Rod提供的方法，但考虑到BalusC关注的是不要在所有应用程序中重复相同的工作，并附带了这个类:

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;

public class MyResourceBundle {

    // feature variables
    private ResourceBundle bundle;
    private String fileEncoding;

    public MyResourceBundle(Locale locale, String fileEncoding){
        this.bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.app.Bundle", locale);
        this.fileEncoding = fileEncoding;
    }

    public MyResourceBundle(Locale locale){
        this(locale, "UTF-8");
    }

    public String getString(String key){
        String value = bundle.getString(key); 
        try {
            return new String(value.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), fileEncoding);
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            return value;
        }
    }
}

使用它的方式与常规的ResourceBundle使用非常相似:

private MyResourceBundle labels = new MyResourceBundle("es", "UTF-8");
String label = labels.getString(key)

或者你可以使用默认使用UTF-8的替代构造函数:

private MyResourceBundle labels = new MyResourceBundle("es");

Java 9及更新版本

从Java 9开始，属性文件默认编码为UTF-8，使用ISO-8859-1以外的字符应该可以开箱即用。

Java 8及以上版本

当指定了.properties文件时，ResourceBundle#getBundle()在封面下使用PropertyResourceBundle。这反过来使用默认的Properties#load(InputStream)来加载这些属性文件。根据javadoc，它们默认读取为ISO-8859-1。

public void load(InputStream stream)抛出IOException

从输入字节流中读取属性列表(键和元素对)。输入流采用load(Reader)中指定的简单的面向行的格式，并假定使用ISO 8859-1字符编码;即每个字节是一个拉丁字符。非拉丁字符1和某些特殊字符使用Java™语言规范3.3节中定义的Unicode转义符在键和元素中表示。

So, you'd need to save them as ISO-8859-1. If you have any characters beyond ISO-8859-1 range and you can't use \uXXXX off top of head and you're thus forced to save the file as UTF-8, then you'd need to use the native2ascii tool to convert an UTF-8 saved properties file to an ISO-8859-1 saved properties file wherein all uncovered characters are converted into \uXXXX format. The below example converts a UTF-8 encoded properties file text_utf8.properties to a valid ISO-8859-1 encoded properties file text.properties.

native2ascii -encoding UTF-8 text_utf8.properties text.properties

在使用Eclipse等正常的IDE时，当您在基于Java的项目中创建.properties文件并使用Eclipse自己的编辑器时，这已经自动完成了。Eclipse将透明地将超出ISO-8859-1范围的字符转换为\uXXXX格式。另见下面的截图(注意底部的“属性”和“源”选项卡，点击放大):

或者，您也可以创建一个定制的ResourceBundle。控件实现，其中您显式读取属性文件为UTF-8使用InputStreamReader，这样您就可以将它们保存为UTF-8而不需要与native2ascii的麻烦。下面是一个开始的例子:

public class UTF8Control extends Control {
    public ResourceBundle newBundle
        (String baseName, Locale locale, String format, ClassLoader loader, boolean reload)
            throws IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException, IOException
    {
        // The below is a copy of the default implementation.
        String bundleName = toBundleName(baseName, locale);
        String resourceName = toResourceName(bundleName, "properties");
        ResourceBundle bundle = null;
        InputStream stream = null;
        if (reload) {
            URL url = loader.getResource(resourceName);
            if (url != null) {
                URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
                if (connection != null) {
                    connection.setUseCaches(false);
                    stream = connection.getInputStream();
                }
            }
        } else {
            stream = loader.getResourceAsStream(resourceName);
        }
        if (stream != null) {
            try {
                // Only this line is changed to make it to read properties files as UTF-8.
                bundle = new PropertyResourceBundle(new InputStreamReader(stream, "UTF-8"));
            } finally {
                stream.close();
            }
        }
        return bundle;
    }
}

可以这样使用:

ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.example.i18n.text", new UTF8Control());
