This name works fine for creating a Groovy class, just not a Grails domain class. So, why won't the Grails support allow it?
UPDATE (2009-05-08): This seems to be straightened out in NetBeans 6.7 (beta).

Netbeans 6.5 + Grails
I'm not pleased with the apparent behavior of NetBeans 6.5 when creating a new Grails domain class. I'm unable to create a domain class anywhere other than the default package; the dialog keeps asking for a "valid class name":

XPath Voodoo
I had a use case for Canoo Web Test to verify the value of a table cell. In an attempt to obtain the value using an XPath query, I used the following expression:
My test failed, reporting that this expression didn't return any value at all. I verified this was the correct path by looking at the XHTML source. It was only through inspecting the XHTML using the Firebug plugin for Firefox did I see a mystery <tbody> tag. I'm not sure at which point that gets injected, or even why. The injection appears to be a misinterpretation of XTHML 1.0 strict (the specified DOCTYPE). When I added the <tbody> tag to the XPath expression -- which I remind you is not in the XHTML source -- the test passed. Here is the working expression:
I haven't figured out what I'm missing, yet.
//form[@id='myFormName']/table/tr[2]/td[2]

Justice
Just today I saw the news that my friend's murderer was found guilty, with sentencing on the way.
I met Dewayne as an EVOC instructor and greatly enjoyed his company during the much-too-short time I got to spend with him. Dewayne's wonderfully affable disposition made him a joy to be around. He never seemed to be without a smile, but he was always ready to take care of business. Hard-working and friendly; Dewayne had these qualities in spades.
SGT Dewayne Graham was a great man, and I'm honored to have known him. I hope this verdict brings some small amount of comfort to his family, and I'm hopeful for swift and severe justice during sentencing.
UPDATE: On May 22, 2009, Dewayne's murderer was sentenced to death.
