How can I create two files with same name with different case in mac osx

filesosx

I can't create two files with same name with different cases in a folder.
as an example if file names are like below.

test.java and Test.java.

warning message appear that saying 

The name “Test” with extension “.java” is already taken. Please choose a different name.

in Linux we can do this. how can I do this in mac osx?

Best Answer

You generally can't. Mac OS X is typically case-insensitive.

It's actually a per-partition setting, AFAIK set when formatting the partition. The default is case-insensitive, and case-sensitive is known for breaking third-party apps. If you decide you need it, I suggest creating a case-sensitive disk image to store those files.
