I'm using the Favorites window to copy some files around to create a GlassFish
unit test based on an enterprise app that I had previously created; just copying
java and xml files from the app to new directories. I do not have GlassFish
currently installed in the Server Manager list.

When I open the file tree <my app name>/src/conf/ and click the
sun-application.xml file, I immediately get an NPE and cannot copy files around
without multiple NPE dialog boxes popping up. I will attach the log, but to make
this issue easier to search the exceptions are (in order):

I understand the error about the application server not being set up correctly
(since it isn't), but I should be able to copy/edit/whatever the file through
the Favorites window.

(Sorry if 'enterprise' is not the right component.)
