Build Identifier: M20100211-1343 The following code describes this situation: IContainer parent = .....// existing folder IResource res = parent.getFolder(new IPath("a")) // folder also exist, but its name is A res.exists() will return false, which is bad on case insensitive file systems Problem is that exists() at the end delegates to AbstractDataTreeNode and its indexOfChild(String) method is case sensitive even if the file system is not. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to create new folder in workspace using NewFolderDialog. 2. Enter existing folder name but with different case. 3. You will not get message that folder exists, because Folder.exists() returns false.
