Description Tod Creasey CLA 2001-10-10 22:49:04 EDT 
If you create a file with the name
		fred\bob 

	in a project and folder with path

	/proj/folder

	You will get a file called fred\bob in Eclipse but the file system will create a folder

	/proj/folder/fred

	with a file 

	bob

Core should be consistent with the file system.

Current behaviour is that it fails, saying folder "fred" does not exist.  Core 
behaviour is working as designed.  Core interprets java.io.File.separatorChar as 
a path separator.

Moving PR to UI.  They could be slightly nicer to the user by checking this 
value as the user types.  They could either search for File.separatorChar, or 
call IWorkspace#validateName on the exact text entered in the box.  UI currently 
calls IWorkspace#validatePath, which splits the passed path into segments (in 
this case "fred" and "bob" get separated), then validates each name.
Comment 3 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-22 12:39:35 EST 
Validation is now done using the path and files with a \ in thier name are now 
created in directories.
