Julian Reschke commented on OAK-260:
------------------------------------

For the record, the contract for equalsIgnoreCase:

  http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#equalsIgnoreCase%28java.lang.String%29

This may do the right thing for the Turkish locale, but I'm not totally convinced it couldn't fail with other fancy locales. It's probably better to always specify the locale.

> We currently use String.toUpperCase() and String.toLowerCase() and in some cases where it is not appropriate. When running using the Turkish profile, this will not work as expected. See also

> Problematic are String.toUpperCase(), String.toLowerCase(). String.equalsIgnoreCase(..) isn't a problem.
