Description Chiana 2013-04-11 10:37:17 UTC 
When using the "Extrace interface" refactoring it is possible to overwrite an existing file without warning, my guess this is a windows-only problem and related to CamelCasing.

Here is how to reproduce;

Create a project of any Java type.
Create a first class, for sake of easiness name it : "NewJavaClass"
Introduce a method of some kind, it does not need to do anything sensible at this moment.
Save the file.
Right-click the source in the project tree and select "Refactor->Extract interface"
Now, type the new class name "NewJavaclass" (lowercase in "class") and you can note that it does not give any warning about existing file(!).
Now, press "Finish" and it will overwrite "NewJavaClass".
IMHO there should have been a warning issued that "NewJavaclass" already existed.

I have found out that this sometimes result in that the new class (the interface) does not get created and that sometimes it gets overwritten, have so far not been able to determine the different cases.

I just come to think about it, it does not matter what the endresult is, the problem is the missing warning in the Extract interface dialog. Altering bug description to reflect.
