Description ievans 2009-10-19 23:36:05 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new Java EE 6 Web project that uses JavaServer Faces framework.
2. Select File -> New File, JavaServer Faces category, then JSF Page, and click Next.
3. Note the error at the bottom of the dialog saying, "The Folder Name is not valid."

The new file should be created in the web root of the web project, but 6.8 can't create new files there as long as this
error is incorrectly displaying.

Alexey, could you try to reproduce on Windows please?

It runs fine on my Linux. Looking at the code this message should be displayed only when one of the following illegal
characters is typed in "Folder:" field - "`~!@#$%^&*()=+|{};:'",<>?". Somehow I think we would get this error reported
earlier unless of course there is a fresh regression. Ian, could you try to type something in "Folder:" field (legal and
illegal characters) and removing all of them again just to see if error message box disappears under some conditions?
Thanks.

I've tried:
* entering legal characters in the Folder input
* entering illegal characters in the Folder input
* clicking Browse to select a sub-folder

All do not eliminate the error.

I just add my note to help some other person
In Netbeans 7.1.2  if you project is located in network path
It gives this folder name is invalid even when it's not.

My Home directory is syncronized in Windows between network share and computer
and Netbeans is angry because this share is hidden "username$"  ($ means that share is hidden in windows)
