It seems AntProcessBuildLogger.getHyperLink() throws a null pointer 
exception when the location is a relative path - which it can be in 
externally parsed entities
For example, say I have a build file which does something like:

<!DOCTYPE project PUBLIC "-//ANT//DTD project//EN" 
"file:../../Build/ant/ant.dtd" [
   <!ENTITY build-driver SYSTEM "file:../../Build/ant/build-driver.xml">
]>

<project name="foo" default="all">
        <!-- Pulls in common build settings -->
        &build-driver;
</project>

If a task in build-driver gets executed, the task passed to the 
BuildLogger will have it Location's path equal to "../../Build/ant/build-
driver.xml:LINE", and since relativity is being 
determined relative to the workbench's CWD (?) instead of the location of 
the build file, we get a null IFile, and thus the exception below. 
Solution, check if a relative path, and make relative to the buildfile's 
location.
