If nothing else helps, try changing an encoding of your source files (including .java files) to UTF8. In Eclipse it is done via Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace : Text file encoding I had CP1252 as a default for my text files.

I am getting my text from .properties files. Changing them to UTF8 didn't help. This is insane, but switching my .java files to UTF8 solved my issue!
