[news.eclipse.tools] Re: IResource.exists is not OS smart

You are right. The Platform is case sensitive by design. And it does not
take into account the OS. So, myfile.txt and MyFile.txt will always be
different for the Platform.

But on Windows you will not be able to create both files (even though they
are different for the Platform) and on Linux you will be. The Platform tries
to do its best to avoid inconsistencies in OS that are not case sensistive.
