[200411231853] I simply create j2se project. Then delete this project externaly while IDE has this project still opened. When I click on the projects' root node and invoke properties of the project then the java.lang.NullPointerException appears (see attached stack).
Created attachment 19056 [details] Exception stack attached...
I have forgotten to mention that the project view holds the project root node after the project is externaly deleted. In the contrary the files view is refreshed correctly.
IMO, this is a pathological case and should be closed as wontfix. Try to run *any* application and then externally delete data files it depends on. See if the application survives and recovers nicely.
I agree this testcase is not common so I have no problem if will be closed as wontfix.
