This is a common problem for all project types. Adding Tomas to cc. Do you think this can be solved in project API or must it be fixed in each project type?
Proposed solution: test if build.xml is saved before opening project properties. If it is not, open confirmation dialog "Save build.xml? Yes/No". Yes -> save build.xml and open project properties. No -> do notning. Workaround: save build.xml before opening project properties. Downgrading to P3, this issue is a corner case. Agreed by QE.
Special case of well-known issue. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 50992 ***
