I think the "Case Sensitive" option doesn't make much sense in Java. If properly capitalized then all types start with upper case. I would say that if the user 
starts writing upper case chars, then it means the user wants camel case.

You can also switch to case sensitive mode if the user types at least one upper case.

I think the 'Case Sensitve' option is missleading, because starting with an upper case char results in fact in a case
sensitive search which almost made me file a bug (if i hadn't found this issue).

Nevertheless somebody might need a case sensitve search when starting with lower case char - so the option should not be
removed but renamed or a comment should be added.

The optionis long gone. GoTo type supports camel case, abbreviations and wildcards.
