This may be intentional -- in case when identifiers or column names are in Turkish language... Waiting for opinion from NB developers... do you mean you expect names like (personId, jobtItle etc)? first one seems reasonable, but second one looks strange, what are names of tables/columns, are names in english/ascii? do you mean all places with i and I are replaced with ı? if tables/database etc have non-ascii chanracters in names, can you attach schema? I expect getting column names like personid, jobtitle, ... I agree that it may be intentional to do like I stated, but then there should be an option to select a Locale which will be used in case conversation operations, because many times you don't design table column names in the same language your platform operates. ok, what's about real column names? what is your os/locale/system encoding? is there any problem with how it works? have you filed an issue for "RESTful Web Services code generation for JAX-RS API"? Real column names are designed in upper case like PERSONID and JOBTITLE, but they are case-independent in sql, query engines operate in English locale, I think, so we can access columns with "personid". When we generate entity classes with these column names, I think there can be a Locale selection box in the wizard, so if the developer wants to preserve platform locale he/she can select, but if he/she want to select a specific locale, English in my case, he/she can select. I didn't file an issue about JAX-RS API, which I couldn't decide which component it's about. thanks, one more question what does it mean "lower case ı character in Turkish is the same as upper case I (i) in English", what is the same? In Turkish, upper case of i character is İ, but in English it is I; also little ı (which is not in English alphabet) character's upper case is I. So it's a problem when we name a column JOBID and it is converted to lower characters not jobid, but jobıd. Created attachment 97944 [details]

usage of toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH) may help, at least to convert JOBTITLE properly, but I'm not sure how it will handle case with local characters usage in names. 3 years for the issue. main problem it's hard to test fix with different locales, for future release I can consider an option for generation to be able to choose conversion type localized vs english based. this change will be backward compatible. ok, decide to folдow initial suggestion about English locale. even if some db allow Turkish and other non default locales for table names it looks to be less common case(I can't verify if it have sense) and it's better to get proper behaviour in more general use-case with Latin names. Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201401290001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/b07af82807a2 User: Sergey B. Petrov <sj-nb@netbeans.org> Log: #157943 decide to implement initial suggestion for English local usage check TAO's Sun page for the fix, Link is https://blogs.oracle.com/tao/entry/set_netbeans_user_interface_language This is quotation of what it says. Set Netbeans user Interface language By Zhiqi Tao on Feb 13, 2008 Netbeans automatically uses the Windows system default language as the default user interface language. I believe that it means to be a nice feature for localization. But I personally find it uncomfortable because I have been used with English interface. After I did some Google search, I learned a few tips to set the Netbeans UI language. 1. Temporary Solution Add "--locale en:US" at the end of Netbeans startup command. "C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans 6.0.1\\bin\\netbeans.exe" --locale en:US 2. Permanent Solution Go to Netbeans installation directory, for example, C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans 6.0.1\\etc Open "netbeans.conf" and find netbeans default option line netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true" Add "-J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US" to the end of this line netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US" It would be nice that there is an option to allow me choose the user interface language in the next Netbeans release.
