Description Marian Mirilovic 2002-01-25 08:56:23 UTC 
[nb3.3.1_rc2](20020123), [jdk1.3.1](02)

Steps to reproduce:
- select TXT file in Explorer
- hit F2
-> in place textfield is created
- hit Delete and delete name of file(rename to empty string), hit Enter
-> node .txt is displayed

The same result for renaming by property name in properties window.

Easy, explorer shouldn't allow this. (we're not showing extensions by
default and explorer isn't place for management of .something files).
This should behave exactly as if you try to put empty string or
invalid filename for java classes.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2002-03-18 21:54:15 UTC 
IMHO this should be solved directly by a check in DataObject.rename which could throw 
an IllegalArgumentException (nicely annotated) if passed "". Unless someone thinks 
there might be a reason to programmatically rename a DataObject to "" (sounds dangerous 
to me).

Comment 4 Jiri Rechtacek 2002-05-09 16:24:12 UTC 
DataObject check a new name and if it is empty then throw
IllegalArgumentException.
A question is is the name should be trimmed before check or a name "
.txt" is allowed. 
I'm going to commit a attached patch on 10/5.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
