If you need to use characters like ä,ö and à it seems that you need to have a UTF-8 locale so the Java guide should mention this and link to the Gentoo UTF-8 guide.
Are you sure? At least jEdit seems to work nicely with LC_ALL=fi_FI@euro, and I have one machine running on that locale all the time, which should use many more java applications as well, eg. Azureus comes to mind, and I suppose java-plugin for browser can be count in as well. Of course you must use locale which' charset supports the characters you use, and furthermore java should really be operated in unicode environment, but at least I think it should work without.
Maybe the wording should be like we recommend using UTF-8. I was able to reproduce the problem of one of our users with the following: emerge mercury-bin LC_ALL="POSIX" mercury ctlr+r try to type

Yes, that's what I meant by saying that used locale must support characters used, if you want to use 7-bit ASCII locale and
Yes, that's what I meant by saying that used locale must support characters used, if you want to use 7-bit ASCII locale and ä or ö you must use SF7-ASCII instead of US-ASCII ;-) Hmm, I think it requires new section in Config chapter. I'll write one up in a moment and send a patch for review.
Well, after a short chat with axxo and Betelgeuse I decided it's probably not worth mentioning in every single app or such doc that you need to have sane environment for your environment to work. Invaliding.
