[platform-core-dev] RFC 0001 - handling case variants.

["John Arthorne/OTT/OTI" <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxx>]

I have posted RFC 0001 to the core team web page:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-core-home/rfc/0001/index.html

Now welcoming all comments, feedback and discussion on this mailing list
until December 4th.



Summary:

The Eclipse workspace is always case-sensitive, but some filesystems are
not. This causes a problem when trying to create a file using the Core API,
in the case where a file already exists at the target location that differs
only in case from the file being created. This document discusses the
problem and evaluates various approaches to solving it.
