FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Having multiple inner classes with the same name but in a different case, like 'a' and 'A', compiles, but fails during runtime, with a NoClassDefFoundError.

For eg, consider the following code,

public class test2{

public class d{
public void f(){
System.out.println("fff");
}
}

public class D{
public void f1(){
System.out.println("ggg");
}
}

public static void main(String args[]){
test2 t2 = new test2();
t2.testthis();
}

public void testthis(){
D dd = new D();
d dd1 = new d();
dd.f1();
dd1.f();
}

}

this compiles fine and the class files generated are test2$d.class and test2.class.

When this is run, the following error is received.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test2$d (wrong name:
test2$D)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:502)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Compile the following program, test2.java
2. run it.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
In the console, the following should be seen.
