Although it says that digits and dashes are allowed characters - it's impossible to create name where those characters are in the beginning of project name. E.g. kenaiproject-01 - valid name 01-kenaiproject - invalid name Also it doesn't allow to create names with underscore. Are there any strict reasons to prohibit names like kenai_project ? Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200904220201) Java: 1.6.0_13; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.3-b02 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) Userdir: C:\Documents and Settings\tester\.netbeans\dev
The restrictions are on the server side - Kenai.com says following about a valid project name: "Name used in URL. Single lowercase letter followed by lowercase letters, digits and/or dashes. Maximum 20 characters. Cannot be changed after project is created." Therefore, "01-something" or "kenai_project" is not a valid name and client (NB IDE) can do nothing about this. :o( (Probably an invalid issue, maybe fix the text in the dialog to be the same as on the web?)
Name identifier is defined by kenai.com this way: Single lowercase letter followed by lowercase letters, digits and/or dashes. Maximum 20 characters. But this is too long statement for wizard. We use just "(lower case letters, digits, dashes)".
