             Summary: Invalid identifier error too vague
                 Key: CB-8316
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8316
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Fabio Poloni
            Priority: Minor


The error message if an invalid identifier is entered is too vague. I had to check the source of valid-identifier to understand the limitation for the identifier.

{code}
$ cordova create hello com.example-company.hello HelloWorld
App id contains a reserved word, or is not a valid identifier.
{code}

I'd wish something more useful like this:

{code}
$ cordova create hello com.example-company.hello HelloWorld
App id must not contain a reserved word and must match this regular expression: ([a-zA-Z_$][a-zA-Z\d_$]*\.)*[a-zA-Z_$][a-zA-Z\d_$]*
{code}
