P5. Does not do any harm. It may do a harm, the second class is hidden by the first, may cause unwanted behavior of the application and "happy" debugging. I agree with reporter that the wizard should warn about it. Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next". NetBeans.org Migration: changing resolution from LATER to WONTFIX |
If a java project has 2 or more source folders, the on-the-fly check for possibly duplicate classes is performed by the wizard only within the same source folder the new class is being created in. Say, I have the following dir/package structure: src/ org.netbeans (package) org.netbeans.Foo (class) src-2/ org.netbeans (package) If I'm trying to create a new org.netbeans.Foo class under src/, the wizard will warn me and disallow the operation. If, however, I'm trying to do the same under src-2/, it will silently create the duplicate class.
