Description Mats Ahlgren CLA 2008-05-10 04:34:13 EDT 
Build ID: M20080221-1800

Steps To Reproduce:
1. name a project "1234-final-project"
2. try to build (ctrl-B)
3. try to run (ctrl-f11) -- you will get an error

name the project "1234_final_project"
build and run... the project runs fine

More information:
This was particularly confusing since it was my first time using CDT; I thought the entire toolkit was broken.

Should prevent user from entering invalid project name or allow hyphens in project names.

Sorry, after much more extensive testing the problem seems to be (I think) that you cannot have a project named:

"a.b-c"
[the above example does not work; use this to reproduce]

Or else you will get the following error when trying to run the built project:

"Launched failed no binaries"
