what is wrong with this code ?

[Badri Narayanan]

package pack;
 
class Test1{
 
    void print()
    {
    System.out.println("print");
    }
 

}
 
interface test1 {void metoo();}

When i try to save the code in eclipse for Test1.java under package pack iam getting file name collision error.Aren't the class names and the interface names in java case sensitive ?
Thanks

yes, they are. But Windows is NOT case sensitive, if that is the OS you are using.

Hi ranchers,

what Fred wrote cannot be the cause.

I'm using Eclipse 3.1 in WindowsXP and had no problems to put Test1 and test1 into one file named Test1. Maybe you have already a class or interface with that name(s) in this package?

Try to make a variable Test1 xy; or test1 yz;
If there's already such a class it will work, otherwise Eclipse marks this as "cannot be resolved to a type".

Consider the class can be in a file with different name and does not necessarily occur in the package explorer of eclipse.


Yours,
Bu.

I assumed that the class Test1 was in one file named "Test1.java", and that the interface was defined in a second file name "test1.java". My assumption may not have been correct.

if not, then yes, I would make sure there isn't already a previous test1.java file from some other project out there.

The two class files would have the same name, too, so if they're in the same package, regardless of the source file names, on Windows one file will clobber the other. It may seemingly work in Eclipse, but you'll fail to be able to deploy the application.
