Apple is seriously pissing me off in regards to java support on OS X. I wonder if it's a ploy to get everyone over to using cocoa+objc. Anyway, in regards to java case sensitivity, there is more evidence (to me) that keeping case sensitivity would be more useful, the biggest and most obvious benefit being that it forces the code to be clean and readable and case lets the developer impart additional meaning and cut down on ambiguity without taking up more space. Plus most IDEs can handle this just fine in languages where case sensitivity matters, e.g. intellij, eclipse and netbeans for java.
