Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2001-10-10 22:48:26 EDT
There are a few characters that are not acceptable for resource names in Eclipse but are good for Windows file names
such as semicolon and single quote mark. I was wonderng if this doesn't comply with the platform's
file name convention.

NOTES:

	You will get an error if you try to import a file from the system that has these 'invalid' characters.
(create a file ';' and try to import it)
	These characters seem to be valid in the Linux OS also.

Here are the characters that win32 rejects: \ / : * ? " < > | *TAB*.  Everything else should work.

Fixed.  This restriction has been removed.  It is now legal to create resource 
names involving semi-colons and commas.

Fixed in v207
