Of course not, but in this case you've got the choice between letting 
the compiler (or let's say the IDE's background compilation) take care 
of something or not.
I've been frequently annoyed by tools that do their binding by matching 
Strings to classes or component names, because every time you move, 
refactor or mistype something you're bound to get screwed. And it likes 
to happen in the worst possible moments. I'd rather avoid it, if I have 
the choice.

Kind regards,
