Description Mark Melvin CLA 2006-04-12 15:41:25 EDT 
I guess this would be an enhancement request, but I find myself needing the functionality contained in the method org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Resource#checkDoesNotExist().  Is there any way to make this API?  It is a handy thing to have on case-sensitive file systems (such as Windows), and it seems like there are a lot of hoops to jump through if you are going to re-implement it yourself to avoid internal classes and protected methods.

Change to enhancement.
Comment 2 Mark Melvin CLA 2008-03-04 11:04:04 EST 
Is this possible for 3.4, or are there good reasons why it is not API?

This is for the same kind of problem discussed in bug 129859.
