Interesting question:

If I create a java file called "thisismyfile.java" and the class
contained therein is called "ThisIsMyFile", JBuilder (I'm
currently using version 7) will build the project just fine.
When compiling the same file at the command line using javac, it
will not.

I was under the impression that the class name was required to
match the filename in a java environment (case included).  Why
does Jbuilder work under this situation?  How can I force it to
tell me when I have an inconsistancy between the file name and
the class name?

Thank you in advance,
S. Glasgow
