Description Thomas Preisler 2006-02-06 21:43:27 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, our makefiles for instance. The
bug is probably in NB5.0 (see issue
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=72318), but we may have to come
with a work-around since cnd has to work with 5.0.

Removing CND-Preview-2 flag. This isn't a simple fix and isn't worth sliding
the preview for.
Comment 2 _ gordonp 2006-10-17 18:36:24 UTC 
Reassigning because I've got too many IZs to fix by FCS.

Downgraded to P3.
Comment 4 Jesse Grodnik 2006-11-13 18:47:31 UTC 
Priority changed in error
Comment 5 Alexander Simon 2006-11-14 15:32:54 UTC 
It's seems netbeans bug.
File name validation is located in method:
org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.SimpleTargetChooserPanel.isValid():
line 96:
        String errorMessage = ProjectUtilities.canUseFileName
(gui.getTargetGroup().getRootFolder(), gui.getTargetFolder(),
gui.getTargetName(), template.getExt (), isFolder);
Look at method getExt() of org.openide.filesystems.MultiFileObject extends
org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFolder.getExt():
line 111:
        /** period at first position is not considered as extension-separator */
        return ((i <= 1) || (i == name.length())) ? "" : name.substring(i); //
NOI18N
Extension will be empty string or contains nonempty string
Method canUseFileName() expect that extension will be null or nonempty string:
org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.ProjectUtilities.canUseFileName (FileObject
targetFolder, String folderName, String newObjectName, String extension, boolean
allowFileSeparator):
line 312:
if (extension != null) {
     relFileName.append('.');
     relFileName.append(extension);
}
As result file name for make file will be ended ".".
File system returns:
File "Makefile." doesn't exist when "Makefile" exists.
Bug can be reproduced on "Other-Empty file" wizard.
