On Windows platform, when entering a name in New project wizard, if it is same as the name of an existing project but only different in captials, the name check mechanism should be able to treat it as an error because the project creation will fail eventually for this reason.
Created attachment 26725 [details] proposed patch - apply to org.eclipse.ui.ide This patch will not flag this case as an error, but will show a warning message. On case insensitive platforms (like Windows) you will still see the error message when you hit Finish. On Linux, we want people to see the wanring because they may decide to share that project, which potentially causes problems for people on case insensitive platforms.

The isDirectory() check does not appear to work the way that the patch assumes on Linux.
