Description

When the main file name has capital letter and try to compile it throws this: Error: Could not find or load main class {fileName}
This is because:
> javac {fileName} // don't need to match case
>java {fileName} // throws an error if case doesn't match

But sometimes if I change file name and re-run, $fileName and $fileNameWithoutExt return the correct case format and the file run without any issue. So, my workaround is to change the main file name/class back and forth to get it to work.
Tried other method like cleaning up java language server workspace and reload but it doesn't work.

It's running on windows.
