Build 20021016

The spec claims that non-existing elements cannot be opened, however the 
implementation doesn't enforce it for package fragment roots.

Using IJavaProject.getPackageFragmentRoot(IResource) it is easy to create such 
non-existing roots, which can be openend.

The issue behind is that the element cache will be populated for these 
elements, and unless the client call #close() on this root, the cache will hold 
onto some of the children elements.

PackageFragmentRoot.openwhenClosed(...) already ensures that the resource is on 
the classpath.
Added regression test ExistenceTests.testPkgFragmentRootNotInClasspath()
