1. Start a new workspace on "d:\temp\test"
2. Create a Java project "Test"
3. Add a non-empty external class folder to the build path of "Test" (e.g.
"d:\temp\lib")
4. Shutdown
5. Rename "d:\temp\test" to "d:\temp\test2"
6. Start Eclipse on this new workspace
Observe: The external folder node in the Package Explorer appears empty
Comment 1 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2008-10-29 08:40:37 EDT 
Variation on this scenario:
1. Start a new workspace on "d:\temp\test"
2. Create a Java project "Test"
3. Add a non-empty external class folder to the build path of "Test" (e.g.
"d:\temp\lib")
3a. Open a .class file from the external folder in a class file editor in Eclipse
4. Shutdown
5. Rename "d:\temp\test" to "d:\temp\test2"
6. Start Eclipse on this new workspace
Observe: The class file editor is not correctly restored due to an exception.

Proposed fix

Note that there is no regression test as one cannot move the workspace in
tests.
