Description Dave Spriet CLA 2003-05-07 07:54:42 EDT 
If you create a project called "a" and then you try to create a folder under it 
that has over 230 chars you will get a dialog that says "Could not create 
folder ..." after you press finish.  This validation should be done as you type 
the folder name.

Able to reproduce in I20030506.
Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2003-05-22 09:29:20 EDT 
The java.io API does not provide us a way to determine what the maximum folder 
name length is so as a result we can only report this when the OS return us 
the error.
