You will still get a problem if you use a file-system which allows you to have a file "Hello.txt" *and* "hello.txt" in one directory (and yes, this is possible even with plain NTFS if you use POSIX-functions provided by MS). On the NTFS-filesystem I tried this on NT typed *one* of the files *twice* :-) I think it would be better to let the user decide what to do in a specific case. And look at this: D:\temp>D:\jdk13\bin\javac Hello.java D:\temp>D:\jdk13\bin\javac Hello.JAVA javac: invalid argument: Hello.JAVA It doesn't seem to be a good solution to automatically include files like "*.JAVA" in a javac-task. Sometimes I *really* hate Windows :-) Nico
