Restrictions on naming pattern of artifactId

[Todd Thiessen <tt...@avaya.com>]

It looks like there are some restrictions on the character that can be
included the the artifact ID of the GAV.

For example, a if a pom includes a dependency of:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.redhat</groupId>
  <artifactId>compat-libstdc++</artifactId>
  <version>296-2.96-138.i386</version>
</dependency>

You get this error:

'dependencies.dependency.artifactId' with value 'compat-libstdc++' does
not match a valid id pattern.

Any know why such a restriction is in place?

Interestingly enough, Nexus does not complain about uploading such an
artifact and creating the pom with ++ in the artifactId.
