This is an upstream bug of eclipse project. Scott, Can you add a note in our documentation mentioning that for project name don't use special characters, e.g. space, underbar, etc.
Hi, I have added a brief note to the section in the development manual that steps the user through a project using Eclipse. You can see the note at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#creating-the-project. Please review and let me know if it is okay. Thanks, Scott
Looks good. Thx. - Jessica
Setting this to RESOLVED and marking the Documentation change field to "Done". Review is complete. Scott
