Description _ potingwu 2008-03-19 18:13:49 UTC 
If I enter a file name with '"', '<', '>', ... the new project wizard's first panel accepts it. But then I got the
following error after clicking the Finish button:

    Cannot create folder foo" in folder ...

Besides that, if the first character is '"', '<', '>', ..., I immediately got the other exception:

    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter file was not normalized.

BTW, if the wizard can always suggest users typing a valid Java identifier name (by using
Character.isJavaIdentifierPart), then that will reduce more issue from every framework or the web core itself.

E.g., non-JavaIdentifier character will make the Context Path showing '_' replacement which is not good for development.

Maybe at least the lower panel can show some warning or suggestion mesg when the name is not Java identifier character.
