Maven b8 v Maven b7 (Id, Name bug or spec change?)

[Chris Butler <cb...@mateso.com>]

Heya Folks,

I noticed that a dash character ('-') is no longer acceptable in project
ID.

Example:
[old] Maven beta-7
  <id>My-Project</id>
[new] Maven beta-8
  <id>MyProject</id>

The following exception is thrown in all maven usage:

java.lang.NullPointerException at

PS: I'm all for possible 'no reqs' on goals (ie. testing without forcing
a java:compile, war:install, etc).  Sometimes you've already just run
the previous goal and there's no point in going through it again.

Currently I've been writing my own jelly for this and using "only":
ie. war:only

The more basic goals with prereqs can be wrapped around the "only" goal.
