Description Greg Adams CLA 2001-10-10 22:21:05 EDT
Steps
-	start the workbench
-	create a project
-	create a text file   file1.txt     (create it inside project1)
-	observe that the editor is open
-	exit the workbench

-	go to the ms file explorer
-	delete file1.txt from the file system
-	restart the workbench

the following dialog message appears
	"Cannot open input element: File not found."

-	Click ok

-	Close the editor by clicking on it's lose box

- error dialog occurs
	"An internal error has occured. See error log for more details"

BUG
	This does not tell me the name of the log file or where to find it.

	And the .log file in D:\greg_ide\ide_021
\eclipse\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.eclipse.core.resources
	does not have any contents

		Need to resolve larger issue of how to report errors. The 
requirements for the plugin developer are different
	from a product. It's not good for the end user to be directed to a log 
file with a stack trace.
