When creating a new file, illegal characters (such as '*') are allowed by the text field's Document, leading to an IOException when file creation is attempted. The typing of such characaters should be prevented by applying a javax.swing.text.Document to the text field, and overriding insertString(). = = = = = = = = = = Annotation: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method) at java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:828) at org.openide.filesystems.LocalFileSystem.createData(LocalFileSystem.java:204) at org.openide.filesystems.LocalFileSystem$Impl.createData(LocalFileSystem.java:463) at org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFileObject.createData(AbstractFileObject.java:381) at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.MasterFileObject$AtomicAction.createDataExt(MasterFileObject.java:970) at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.MasterFileObject$AtomicAction.run(MasterFileObject.java:912) at org.openide.filesystems.EventControl.runAtomicAction(EventControl.java:89) at org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.runAtomicAction(FileSystem.java:432) at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.MasterFileObject$AtomicAction.createData(MasterFileObject.java:862) at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.MasterFileObject.createData(MasterFileObject.java:352) at org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil.copyFileImpl(FileUtil.java:76) at org.openide.filesystems.FileObject.copy(FileObject.java:78) at org.openide.filesystems.MultiFileObject.copy(MultiFileObject.java:1118) at org.openide.filesystems.MultiFileObject.copy(MultiFileObject.java:1118) at org.openide.loaders.FileEntry.createFromTemplate(FileEntry.java:119) at org.openide.loaders.MultiDataObject.handleCreateFromTemplate(MultiDataObject.java:610) at org.openide.loaders.DataObject$7.run(DataObject.java:703) at org.openide.loaders.DataObjectPool$1WrapAtomicAction.run(DataObjectPool.java:191) at org.openide.filesystems.EventControl.runAtomicAction(EventControl.java:89) at org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.runAtomicAction(FileSystem.java:432) at org.openide.loaders.DataObjectPool.runAtomicAction(DataObjectPool.java:203) at org.openide.loaders.DataObject.invokeAtomicAction(DataObject.java:760) at org.openide.loaders.DataObject.createFromTemplate(DataObject.java:701) at org.openide.loaders.TemplateWizard$DefaultIterator.instantiate(TemplateWizard.java:833) at org.openide.loaders.TemplateWizard.handleInstantiate(TemplateWizard.java:549) at org.openide.loaders.TemplateWizard.instantiateImpl(TemplateWizard.java:465) at org.openide.loaders.TemplateWizard.instantiate(TemplateWizard.java:351) [catch] at org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.actions.NewFile.doPerform(NewFile.java:98) at org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.actions.NewFile.actionPerformed(NewFile.java:75) at org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.actions.LookupSensitiveAction.actionPerformed(LookupSensitiveAction.java:72) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.fireActionPerformed(AbstractButton.java:1786) at javax.swing.AbstractButton$ForwardActionEvents.actionPerformed(AbstractButton.java:1839) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.fireActionPerformed(DefaultButtonModel.java:420) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.setPressed(DefaultButtonModel.java:258) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.doClick(AbstractButton.java:289) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicMenuItemUI.doClick(BasicMenuItemUI.java:1113) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicMenuItemUI$MouseInputHandler.mouseReleased(BasicMenuItemUI.java:943) at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Component.java:5100) at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Component.java:4897) at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Container.java:1569) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Component.java:3615) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:1627) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:3477) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent(Container.java:3483) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.processMouseEvent(Container.java:3198) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.dispatchEvent(Container.java:3128) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:1613) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:1613) at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Window.java:1606) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:3477) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:456) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:201) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:151) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:145) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:137) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:100)
I'm sure this is a duplicate of something, but I can't find it right now...
Allowing to create project name that ends up with IOE deserves higher prio than P4.
I think P4 was correct. This was about a file wizard, not a project wizard. If the operating system does not support a class of file names, the user should not be trying to make one; the IDE ought to help remind the user of this earlier.
Note: After implementation issue 49332, the wizard can throw IOException if new file creation fails, notify user and allow an user correct input values.
Resolving issue 49332 fixes this issue enough, closed as fixed.
This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. Thanks in advance.
