Title: Message

My investigation lead me to believe that Eclipse treats all file extensions in content types as case insensitive on all platforms (I tried windows and linux).  This was independent of CDT.  I tried JDT, adding extensions like ".JAVA", and also by inspecting the Eclipse content type code.  I would actually prefer they be case-sensitive, but given this Eclipse behavior, I don't see any choice but to follow the requirements set by the Eclipse platform and treat them as case-insensitive.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Loose end # 2 - content type extensions and casesensitivity

In bug 103530, there is a discussion of whether the file extensions specified for an Eclipse content-type should be treated as case sensitive or case insensitive.  Currently, the MBS treats these as case sensitive on all platforms.  In there is a consensus on what is correct, and it is different from the current MBS behavior, we could try to change this for 3.0.  What do others think?

 

Thanks,
