Description bass 2007-06-08 14:32:14 UTC 
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.

P5. Does not do any harm.
Comment 2 Tomas Zezula 2007-09-20 10:46:46 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 David Strupl 2009-03-31 15:55:05 UTC 
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".
