We have a UI that allows users to type in the name of an existing project.  We use the JavaProject.exists() method to determine whether the project exists or not.  If it doesn't, then we issue an error message.  If the user types a space character for the name of the project, then the JavaProject.exists() method is now returning 'true' where it used to always return 'false'.  This is a regression in function.  ' ' is not a valid name for the project and since the validation is saying that it is, our downstream tooling fails because the project is not valid.
