would you please re-open this issue. This is a workaround but this does not solve the problem. An XML file is UTF-8 encoded unless otherwise specified. And as far as I can tell the openfire.xml file starts with `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>´ so one must use UTF-8 encoding.
In XMLProperties.java I see Reader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in)); writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(tempFile), "UTF-8"));
So I think it wouldn't hurt to add `, "UTF-8"´ to the reader.

closing as there appears to be a logical workaround.

Setting "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" solves also this issue (see JM-1190)
XMLProperties.java uses a FileReader to read openfire.xml and this causes characters to be read in wrong.
Try to add <foo>å ä ö</foo> within openfire.xml and save it as UTF-8, add a breakpoint after buildDoc(reader); and verify then the read in data. It will be wrong encoded.
