I understand that Java is case sensitive. My confusion stems from the fact
that the program compiles and runs fine when using the Win95-flavor JDK
(1.1.5) where JBuilder complains that the path and the package statement don't
match. There is only one file in the package with this problem. The error
message in JBuilder even states that they are different in case only. Is
JBuilder doing it correctly? Does this mean that the JDK is broken regarding
this issue?
