      Description of problem:
      There used to be file name validation. It doesn't work now. I was able to create an asset (project, enumeration) with name:
      ,./<>?:"|;'[]{}=-_+()~`!@#$%^&*
      Also, it is possible to use the following as group id, artifact id and version in the new project popup:
      ,./?:"|;'[]{}=-_+()~`!@#$%^*
      That popup checks only for <, > and &.

      Causes whole bunch of problems. For example, naming a drl file something/ results in a folder called something being created and a metafile editor being opened for .drl file.
