ME4S 8.6 M2 User error + Bug? Dash in Project Name causes errors in scaffolded GWT code

ME4S 8.6 M2
Mac OS X 10.5.8

1. Create a Project with a dash in the name e.g. CustomerBilling-GWT
2. Scaffold a GWT project following the GWT tutorial at:
http://www.skywayperspectives.org/documentation/me4s86/html/ME4STutorialScaffoldingGWT/m4sescaffoldinggwtarticle.html

3. The completed project will generate but logs errors similar to:

Resource file cancelAction.png is missing (expected at gwt/customerbilling_gwt/common/client/resources)    
CommonResources.java    /CustomerBilling-GWT/generated/gwt/customerbilling_gwt/common/client/resources    
line 25    Google Web Toolkit ClientBundle Problem

The problem is that in some, but not all cases the dash ‘-‘ in the project name is being replaced with an underscore ‘_’. The errors are caused by the generated code pointing to the wrong folder.

These two folders are created with some generated content in each:

.../CustomerBilling-GWT/generated/gwt/customerbilling-gwt vs.
.../CustomerBilling-GWT/generated/gwt/customerbilling_gwt

The folder name change should be consistent, perhaps better still would be to check project names for invalid java class names in the early stages of scaffolding.

Glen

Hi Glen,

This has been fixed for GA. We no longer use project names in generated packages.
