The exception indicates that the location provider is returning null for the resolved path of the buildfile.

Where is the buildfile located on your computer? Is it in your workspace? External to your workspace? On a network drive?

Version: 4.2.0
Build id: I20120315-1300

Using the above build I can open Ant buildfiles in and out of the workspace without error. Closing as worksforme without more info

Hi Michael,

i recently upgrade to Eclipse, Version: 3.7.2, Build id: M20120208-0800 and re-opened the "build.xml", which previously caused the reported error. Just a note back to your request: the problematic ant file resided and still resides on my computer, in the eclipse workspace of the current project.

Thanks for checking back. Problem resolved for me with an Eclipse upgrade.

Kind regards,
Marco
