This suggestion and the current behavior makes CVSNT not very eligible for XP (eXtreme Programming) with Java.

For somebody new to Java, it |surely seems strange that "foo.java" doesn't mean the same thing as |"Foo.java" on Windows and Mac OS X, but the Javac compiler is just |checking to make sure that your program will compile the same way on |every platform that supports Java.
