Actually in a number of important ways windows file system is case-sensitive.
For example, with a class called Test.class in the current directory
one can do "java -cp . Test", but *not* "java -cp . test" on the
command line.

The pattern matching in ant (the include element and includes attribute
in fileset, patternset etc and the name attribute in the filename selector)
are case-sensitive (in unix or on windows - or macos).

There is *zero* chance that they will be made case-insensitive on windows. So
there is also no change that the glob mapper will be case-insensitive, unless
directed to do so by a script author.

The case for magic converting of slashes is much stronger as this is done in
a number of places and it is one of the FAQs on globmapper.
The standard answer is to do 
<mapper type="glob" 
   from="DesktopBeautifierShared${file.separator}source${file.separator}*.java"
   to="java/classes/*.class"/>
but this is long-winded and not nice.
<globmapper from="DesktopBeautifierShared/source/*.java" 
            to="java/classes/*.class" ignoredirchar="yes"/>
is a little better.
