EC post "PDE plugin name validation" by MP on 30/07/2001:

I have a plugin that contains an underscore on its name ("my_plugin" for
example).  Although this is a valid classpath and a working plugin, the PDE
plugin project creation wizard doesn't allow me to create it.  Why?

This seems like a bug in PDE, since Core and underlying file systems allow a project name to contain underscore.
I notice that you can create a Java project with an underscore, then "Convert to PDE Project" in the Navigator's popup menu.

Moving to PDE UI.

This is fixed now (check the next integration build - 20020205). By default, 
plug-in id is set to the name of the project, but Id can now be changed if so 
desired or if the project name does not meet Id restrictions.
