Description ianschneider 2007-09-11 18:50:20 UTC 
Parser incorrectly marks imports as invalid when two classes with same names live in packages with same, but mixed case
names.

Example:
Project A contains top-level class:
Foo.Bar.Baz.Baz

Project B contains top-level class:
foo.bar.Baz

Project C (depends on A and B):
import Foo.Bar.Baz.Baz

is marked as error:
cannot access Foo.Bar.Baz.Baz
bad class file: null
class file contains wrong class: foo.bar.Baz
... etc.
Comment 1 ianschneider 2007-09-11 18:55:56 UTC 
This is on build 200709110000

Forgot to mention, not marked as error in 5.5, builds and runs fine
and the mixed caps packages are legacy ;)

We probably won't manage to do anything about this for NB6.0.
Comment 4 Jan Becicka 2008-11-13 12:50:40 UTC 
Will resolve later
