This is in keeping with >jakarta-oro as a toolkit. I think I'll have to disagree on that one. Whilst I agree jakarta-oro is a toolkit, I would expect a toolkit to apply in a manner applicable to the runtime environment it is operating in (*). However, there is a relatively easy work around, I'll have to go with that for now. Which reminds me, does anyone have a good reference for a description of the format of glob expressions? A quick guess of slapping "/i" on the end didn't work. (*) Presumably it must be possible for a single OS to have both case-sensitive and case-insensitive file systems at the same time - as case-sensitive UNIX can mount case-insensitive Windows file systems (using, e.g., SAMBA) - which makes the detection of case-sensitivity somewhat harder.
