Description schwarcz 2005-05-04 23:04:56 UTC 
[ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_02 ]

in RC2, attempts to rename by changing case of the name fail with the error that the package already exists.

for example if package com.bill.eXit exists refactoring the name com.bill.exit fails with the message that com.bill.exit exists.

Work around: refactor to an intermediate name as in com.bill.foo and then refactor again to the target name com.bill.exit.
Comment 1 schwarcz 2005-05-04 23:58:39 UTC 
Note also that the project and file windows do not show the correct new package.
 In changing the path from com.schwarcz.XXX to com.schwarcz.xxx, the Files
window still shows XXX.  

I will attach a screen shot.

Comment 4 Jan Becicka 2005-05-05 09:30:03 UTC 
Yes. There is a problem with case sensitivity on Windows where folder
com/schwarcz/XXX is identical to com/schwarcz/xxx.
Comment 5 Jan Becicka 2006-11-22 09:59:40 UTC 
Fixed in 6.0. But the problem with folders on Windows still remains.
