Component's Class can't be anonymous.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a Component, which is an anonymous Class.
But it throw exception:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid identifier:107
    at nextapp.echo.app.Component.setRenderId(Component.java:1545)
    at org.sgodden.echo.ext20.ExtComponent.<init>(ExtComponent.java:49)

Because 

    public ExtComponent() {
        super();
        if (nextapp.echo.app.Window.getActive() != null)
            setRenderId(getClass().getSimpleName() +
nextapp.echo.app.Window.getActive().generateId());
    }

Why should we set the component's renderId include the class's simple name?

I agree - it seems strange.  I will ask Lloyd to comment.

It's there to make debugging easier on the client-side using things like the DOM
Inspector and/or Firebug. Having the render id be the simple name of the 
component
means we have ids on the divs like 'Panel321' rather than 'c.321'.

I guess it wants to detect when the simple name of the class is null or the 
empty
string, and not set the render id in that case.
