[dev-200108310100; Sun JDK 1.3.1; MDI] Got a NullPointerException (see attachment). Don't know if it's related, but I had a JavaCVS filesystem mounted (openide/src) and invoked CVS Refresh recursively on the filesystem root a moment before the exception occurred.
Created attachment 2379 [details] Exception stack-trace
It looks like an attempt to parse invalid (probably empty) XML document. This case is not handled correctly, it results in no Lookup but the code relies on Lookup existence.
Created attachment 2395 [details] Proposed patch
new revision: 1.96
I'm no longer able to reproduce it in dev-200109070100.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
