New file/project wizard name validation [message #1797036]

Hi,

Im using the 2.14 new file/project creation wizards and there is a validation feature for customizable project templates.

Is there a similar way to validate the project or file name, i.e. show an error message if the user specific naming conventions?

For example you get an error message if you enter the name of an already existing project in the project creation wizard. Id like to add error messages if you use for example a white space or a special character in the project/file name.

Best regards,
Nikita Dümmel

You can do the following:
1. Create a new subclass of "org.eclipse.xtext.ui.wizard.template.TemplateNewProjectWizard"
2. Override method "createMainPage" and return your own extension of "WizardNewProjectCreationPage" (you have to create it)
3. Override method "validatePage" as it suits your needs
4. Modify the "plugin.xml" of your UI project. Find the extension of the wizard. Replace the "org.eclipse.xtext.ui.wizard.template.TemplateNewProjectWizard" with the name of your own extension.
