Jane, I agree, I actually meant that I don't think there should be
a discrepancy and that case-sensitivity should be the rule. As it is,
apparently, as I found out today, I'd mistyped a file name with
incorrect case, and java tried to run it as is, even though the case
was wrong, but javac choked on its source, as it should. So go figure.
I couldn't figure out why I was getting so many weird errors until
I saw that the class file I was trying to run, technically, didn't
exist! lol! so then when I used the proper case, all was well.! So
my bad, but still a flaw in the java usage in my opinion.
RE: java on Mac pissing you off; it seems it's doing that for a lot of
peeps!… -Lots of complaints on the JDK 5 / JRE 5 and JRE 6
implementation for Leopard…

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.

Okay, my bad, pilot error! lol!
Very sorry for the inconvenience. It turned out to be partially a
weird
issue of difference in capitalization (of all things) between the
usage of
javac and java, that really shouldn't be there in my opinion.
Have a great day, and catch y'all laters!…

I know All, a little late on the uptake! lol! But I just started
developing again with Java on the Mac, or at least am trying to,
and I've
run, immediately, into an obnoxious prob.
The last Java update, a few months ago, which shouldn't have
impacted the
current Java 5 installation on Leopard, seems to have broken my
standard
JDK.
I can't even compile basic java apps, as the java.lang library isn't
recognized. So a path somewhere has been changed, without my
knowledge.
What's the deal?… Has anyone else run into this, and where should I
start looking on the system?…
I'd had trouble locating the actual folder for the java.lang lib
before,
as I recall, so now it's become an issue, as I really do need to
find it as
opposed to simply wanting to know where it might be. <smile>
anyway, any help anyone might send along would be great! -Scott,
ya out
there?… <smile>
Have a great day, All, and thanks for reading!…

Cara :)
