Description Kolchinmax 2011-03-29 07:15:25 UTC

I can not write character "-" in package name. Example:  "package com.emc.jenkins_ci.plugins;" - It's ok, but this is "package com.emc.jenkins-ci.plugins;" wrong.

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.0 Beta 2 (Build 201102140001)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_24
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 19.1-b02

"-" is neither Java letter nor Java number, and so cannot be used inside an identifier. Please see Java language specification §3.8.
