Description dpkumar 2008-09-17 07:52:25 UTC 
NB Build:NetBeans IDE Build 200809151401
JDK:jdk1.6.0_07


Steps to reproduce:
-Install NB and start the IDE.
-In GF V3 download wizard prefix two dots in the path.
-Observe the error message in the bottom of the "Add server instance" wizard.
-Now prefix third dot in the path.

ISSUE:
On placing third dot error message disappears.

".." is "the directory above this one" relative to whatever you'd typed in preceding it (and if nothing, ie just "..",
then relative to the IDE's working directory which is probably the Netbeans bin folder).

"..." is a folder that is named "...", however naive such a name might be.  Oddly enough, on windows, this might be
illegal, but not clearly so.

What is the error message?
Comment 2 dpkumar 2008-09-17 10:48:41 UTC 
I thought that If we place any special characters it should show some error message to user.But after you gave detailed
information my doubt is cleared.

I have this following issue while downloading GF V3 with prefixing special characters or any name in the path.
-Install NB and start the IDE.
-In GF V3 download wizard prefix any name , special characters.In my case I gave ---->GFv3 or 12345 or <<<<< or >>>>>>
/export/home/aroot/GF v3-24(Observer I prefixed GF v3/12345/<<<<</>>>>>)
-Start download

Issue:
Observer the downloading is happening in the following location

/export/home/aroot/>>>>>>>>/export/home/aroot/GF V3-24.

A message in the wizard tells you where the server is going to be installed... before you hit the 'Download V3 Now'
button...

Since the user is told where the server would be installed, installing the server there when the user presses the button
is not a bug.
