I concur. We should captialize the first letter of each word if the term is in English. This is called Camel Case I think.
Note that simple words like "an" "the" "to" "a" are usually not capitalized, but to keep things simple we should just capitalize everything. I really appreciate Uwe bringing this up. It is this type of consistency and attention to detail that will make OpenJUMP a great program.
