The code:

else if(resource instanceof IFile){
    IFile file= (IFile)resource;
    IJavaElement element= JavaCore.create(file);

The filename is .classpath

This should return null but instead an ArrayOutOfBoundsExceptionIsThrown.

I tracked the exception to:
class: org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.parser.Scanner
method: getNextToken()
line: if (((currentCharacter = source[currentPosition++]) == '\\')

Would you have the complete stack trace?

Hmmmm. I cleaned up my workspace a bit and since have been unable to reproduce 
the error. Since you catch all OutOfBoundsExceptions I must have toyed with 
something I shouldn't have. Works now at any rate. Am invalidating PR.
JRT.
