Description Ashok Mallya CLA 2002-10-25 16:05:44 EDT 
I tried to refactor a package named CacheCoherence.System by using the 
Refactor>Rename menu, and wanted to change it to CacheCoherence.system but 
Eclipse says "A resource exists with a different case".

  I would like Eclipse to allow package name changes without being oblivious to 
the case of the characters. 

Thanks,
an NCSU Grad Student.

 I just realized it is because windows file system is case insensitive. Thanks.
