Description Thomas Preisler 2006-02-06 21:35:36 UTC 
When creating a file with the New File Wizard, the wizard checks whether the
file already exists on disk and doesn't allow the user to continue if it does.
This check fails for files without an extension. 

ProjectUtilities.canUseFileName(...) checks only whether the suffix is != null
where it probably also should check whether is not empty:

303: if (extension != null)
vs.
303: if (extension != null && extension.length () > 0)

FileObject.getExt() returns "" for files without an extension.

This worked in 4.1.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2006-02-06 22:04:18 UTC 
Not a high priority; this code is only used if you do not supply a custom wizard
iterator. If you do, the logic is entirely up to you. So simple workaround is to
make your own iterator.
Comment 2 Thomas Preisler 2006-03-16 19:58:31 UTC 
Try adding a folder (New File/Folder...| Other | Folder) to *any* project and
you will run into this bug. It is not only CND's makefiles that have this problem.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2006-03-17 10:25:52 UTC 
I guess Thomas' last comment referred to the fact that the NF wiz does not
prevent you from adding a folder with the same name as an existing folder. But
this is more like a P5 bug since even if you Finish, nothing is harmed; you
cannot "overwrite" a folder.
