Netbeans is confused regarding case (notice the letter 'P' vs. 'p')
Mac file system (just like Windows file system) is not fully case-sensitive like other unixes and therefore it is not possible to handle such situations correctly. Your workaround is a correct procedure in this case. You could also remove and re-add such file again. Understood, thanks! I'd like to suggest that NetBeans prevent or warn users for capitalization changes on OSes that behave this way. Especially since I found it very difficult to convince netbesns to recognize the filesystem version of the name once it got changed. Now that I understand I'll be OK next time but newbies may get very frustrated. Can we change this issue to an enhancement request? We will think about it. Came across this accidentally, but I must say I support this request. May prevent having hard times to some newbies .. |
