It is the accepted convention for class names to begin with a capital letter. The compiler won't choke or bark at you if you ignore this standard but your fellow developers might. Other conventions are that package names should all be lower case, constants (static final variables) should be in upper case and viarable names should use camel casing (myVariable, yourVariable, etc. Don't fight it accept it and go with the flow, having said that we live in a democracy and it's your right to make yourself unpopular ;)
