Description Ying Chen CLA 2005-08-04 15:23:53 EDT 
This is found for Eclipse 3.1 

1. In a web project, launch the New wizard.
2. Select Web -> HTML 
3. Select an project for the web page. Fill in name "simple.HTML" 
(NOTE: its all caps for the extension) 
4. The file name validation error remains. "The file name must end in one of the
following extensions [html, htm, xhtml, htpl, wml, shtml, shtm]." 
5. This problem is not isolated to .HTML.  It happens for .HTM, .XHTML .. etc
(capitalized extension).

Amy ... mind if I "double up" ... as you look to fix this (please check if
there's a base bug in contentType support) ... 

Also please consider 1. not requiring an extension at all (and assume "first"?)
for file preferred file type, 2. if a non-qualifying filetype is used, detect
this and offer a user choice for adding to contentType definition? 

As always, your recommendation is desired.

All our wizards (xml, html, jsp, js, css, dtd) were fixed so that the extension check/validation is case insensitive.

I also took David's suggestion #1 into consideration.  A new preference was added to all the "xx Files" preference pages, "Add this suffix (if not specified):"
This allows users to specify their own default extension, so if they do not specify one in the new file wizards, the default one will be used.

Added Documentation keyword to flag UI changes made (explained in comment #2)
