Description onmomo 2009-12-07 00:32:06 UTC 
I'm searching for a Class contained in a maven project by using the goto type dialog.

class name: SparkStmtCtrlAbs
The Case Sensitive checkbox was disabled, i typed: SPARKSTMTCTRLABS 
Result: <No Types Found>

class name: SparkStmtCtrlAbs
The Case Sensitive checkbox was enabled, i typed: SPARKSTMTCTRLABS 
Result: <No Types Found>

classe named: SparkStmtCtrlAbs
The Case Sensitive checkbox was disabled, i typed: SparkStmtCtrlAbs 
Result: SparkStmtCtrlAbs --> found

classe named: SparkStmtCtrlAbs
The Case Sensitive checkbox was enabled, i typed: SparkStmtCtrlAbs 
Result: SparkStmtCtrlAbs --> found

class name: SparkStmtCtrlAbs
The Case Sensitive checkbox was disabled, i typed: SParkStmtCtrlAbs 
Result: <No Types Found>

It looks like the case sensitive flag is ignored.

Tested with 6.8_rc2

I have the same problem. It would be better to have the search case insensitive by default, but it's sensitive regardless of the check-box state. It's inconvenient because it require remembering precise name.

Passing to right product...
Comment 3 Jiri Prox 2010-01-04 05:39:57 UTC 
It's conflict of case sensitivity and camel case navigation
Comment 4 Tomas Zezula 2010-01-07 03:09:33 UTC 
The problem is that the IDE is not able to distinguish among camel case and UPCASE case insensitive.
The SPARKSTMTCTRLABS is both camel case corresponfing to regexp 'S.*P.*A.*R.*K.*S.*T.*M.*T.*C.*T.*R.*L.*A.*B.*S.*' and SPARKSTMTCTRLABS.
Currently the IDE prefers the camel case but I will change it to search both camel case and case insensitive prefix when case sensitive is disabled.
