I just looked at the code in FileDirContext.java (and related classes), and it does not seem to. It wouldn't have to try all variations; it could simply use the String.equalsIgnoreCase() method on each entry in the directory of interest, or force everything to one case or another when it builds its internal lookup table - but I couldn't find anything like that going on. > And otherwise, what's the point ?
