A wrongly spelled Artifac ID acusess a NullPointerException
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-476
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-476
Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core : Workspace settings
Environment: Ganymede on Vista, Maven2Integration 0.95
Reporter: Alberto Brandolini
When creating a new MavenEnabled project I am prompted to put in grou Id and
artifact ID. I left a space in the arifact ID String and had a
NullPointerException (and another non significant message from eclipse).
Given that Group ID and Artifact ID have strict syntax requirement it would be
nice if the plugin could validate against them instead of leaving us with a
somewhat misleading message. Some contextual information (Toolitips, for
example) might come in handy. Maven is somewhat complex to startup and groupID
and artifact ID are "advanced concepts" that a new comer has to face from the
very frist moment without appreciating the benefits (... yet).
