Currently, Teiid Designer allows creating models with pretty much and character in it besides ".".

Unfortunatelly, a LOT of special characters are not valid on some OS's like Windows, so opening a project containing invalid Windows file names in Eclipse will probably cause issues.

Need to create a utility class/framework that can perform name validation across OS's.

Teiid has reserved model names: TEMP, SYS, or SYSADMIN

For Windows chars and reserved words: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Other potential features:

• setNoSpaces(boolean)
• ignoredSystems(WINDOWS, OSX) (i.e. turn off one or more OS types)
