Description

To reproduce this error just generate a folder with the name "test-7.2"
and generate in it an easy script file named Test:

//script file
println 'foo'

When you run this script the following Exception is thrown:
Caught: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal class name "test-7" in class file test-7

If you rename the file to something with a dot extension (e.g. Test.groovy or Test.test) it works.
