Build I20030107

- create a non Java Project
- create a Java project using the following code
  IJavaProject project= JavaCore.create(IProject).
  observe: this returns an instance
- call project.exists()
  observe: this returns true.

What is the correct way to figure out that this is not a Java project. Should 
create return null in this case

No, you can always create handle onto non-existing entities. However, the 
existency check is suspicious.

project.exists() should return false
