Hi, someone please explain this.

[Gurpreet Singh]

I have windows 98, jdk 1.4.2_03
Please see this code :

interface Test {
}
class Test implements Test {
}

Compile time error is generated : duplicate class

interface test {
}
class Test implements test {
}

A run time exception or error is generated which isn't totally visible in my msdos prompt, as i m using jdk directly (without any IDE).

Can some one please explain this???

Call your interface "ITest" and your class "Test" and it will probably work. On M$ systems it thinks "Test.java" and "test.java" (or Test.class and test.class) are the same at the filename level.

Hi Barry,

So, If we run this program with test and Test on *nix system, then it work fine???

Thanks Barry

ya Kapil,
You asked right. Will it run right on unix barry???

[Barry Gaunt]

Dunno, you could still have problems because of the fact that you have class Test and interface Test, which is rather confusing to the average bartender.
