"Go To Class" should be made case insensitive and/or include a checkbox option to turn on case sensitivity. By default, it should be off. Right now, if you don't know it's case sensitive, you won't get matches, and you wouldn't know why.
There is already an option for that: Tools/Options/Editing/Editor Settings/Java Editor/Case Sensitive Code Completion - the option is true by default Change it to false and Go To Class will be case insensitive... If a checkbox should be present in the Go To Class dialog, it is question for our HIE expert. I am cc-ing him.
I don't see how any user would think that the option for "Case Sensitive Code Completion" in the editor category would make her think that it affects the "Go To Class" dialog behavior. "If the user can't find it, the feature is not there" I'm going to reopen, and should be assigned to HIE for resolution.
I agree that "case sensitive" checkbox should be included directly in the Go to Class dialog.
Fixed in [maintrunk]. "Case sensitive" checkbox added.
