Java convention is that classes begin with an uppercase letter. Suppose you create a file "foo.java" and want to rename it to "Foo.java". If you look at the Subversion documentation, you might find the "svn move" command and try something like this:
$ svn move foo.java Foo.java
svn: E155007: Path '.../Foo.java' is not a directory
Huh?
The problem is that Mac OS X and Windows do not respect case differences in filenames, so it looks like you're asking to rename a file to its own name, which doesn't work. (What that error message means, I have no idea.)
The solution is to rename it temporarily to something different, commit it, then rename it back to the properly cased name:
$ svn move foo.java TempFoo.java
A TempFoo.java
D foo.java
$ svn commit -m "temporary rename"
Adding TempFoo.java
Deleting foo.java
Committed revision 1145.
$ svn move TempFoo.java Foo.java
A Foo.java
D TempFoo.java
$ svn commit -m "rename back"
Adding Foo.java
Deleting TempFoo.java
Committed revision 1146.
