Scala wizards refuse (valid scala) identifiers that are reserved in java

If you try to create a new class/object/trait with a java keyword as the name or package, it will refuse to create it saying "Type name is not valid. The type name 'int' is not a valid identifier".
This happens with all java keywords: int, void, const, goto, etc.
It's probably not a good idea to name your scala class with a java keyword, but it should be allowed.

Additionally, if you create a folder on the filesystem using a reserved word in java, any files in it will not show up as a package, they will show up as a folder at the very bottom of the src folder.

@dnadolny The code in the example doesn't compile because class int should be an object.

@dotta - Woops, you're right, I didn't read the error carefully enough and assumed it wasn't compiling.

Status changed from Accepted to Fixed
Closing this ticket as fixed, because the wizard this ticket relies on has been removed from the codebase. There is a new wizard which is now used as the default one.
