Description harleyjw 2007-12-05 14:32:47 UTC 
When using the autocomplete offering to close any XML tag, the autocomplete suggestion CHANGES THE CASE of the closing
tag to lower case. However, case is significant in XML so if the closing tag has different case, the file cannot be
parsed as XML.

This affects editing XML, HTML and JSP files.

Third party JSP tag libraries can and do provide tags which use camel case, for example Apache Tomahawk's tag library
includes <t:htmlTag>. The NetBeans editor autocomplete offers </t:htmltag> which is subtly different and definitely
incorrect.
