Description Rafael Chaves CLA 2005-09-21 22:21:05 EDT 
i200509210010
Filesystem is FAT32

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.resources 4 275 2005-09-21 22:09:15.890
!MESSAGE A resource exists with a different case: /TestEditor2/src/testeditor2.

Creating a 3.1 plugin using the "Plug-in with an editor" template causes this
error to be logged, and the project creation is not completed (not all files are
created).

Note that I actually have this build as my target only, and the error happens
while self-hosting (host 3.1 M1).

I suspect something changed in the resources area, since the problem does not 
occur in 3.1.1 and the PDE code hasn't changed since.

The problem occurs whenever you create a plug-in project with one uppercase 
letter (eg. com.example.Hello) and with some content, e.g the RCP mail 
template. 

Moving to Resources where JohnA will take good care of you.

actually, it's a PDE issue with not lowercasing a package name in the template.

The main problem in this bug is actually fixed now.

That is the default values pre-set by PDE in the wizard will not result in an 
error.

If someone goes out of their way to mess with the case of class names (bug 
100816 only), PDE does not check for this inconsistency in the wizard and this 
error will occur.

But for the mainstream scenario, things should work fine.

This also happens in 3.2M2 and associated releases.

If you create a new plugin project with Uppercase in the project name.

One of the comments here talks about "Uppercase" in class names. In my case I
did not rename any class. For example create the Hello World plugin with
projectname HelloWorld and you will see.

Fixed.
