Description John Camelon CLA 2004-06-30 15:39:47 EDT 
I have just gotten a super fast dual processor windows box and when I run the 
AutomatedIntegrationSuite, I get the following NPE: 

Thread [Worker-4] (Suspended (exception NullPointerException))
	PathEntryManager.validatePathEntry(ICProject, IPathEntry, boolean, 
boolean) line: 1210
	PathEntryManager$1.run(IProgressMonitor) line: 195
	Worker.run() line: 66

Seems that for some reason, the IPathEntry passed into this function is null, 
and we NPE when we try and access entry.toString().  

I can provide a screen grab if you require proof.

I can also help out with the debugging, I just wanted to submit a bug (and not 
a fix) as I am not sure if just avoiding the NPE is the right thing, or if 
this demonstrates some larger systemic problem.

Does anybody want to fix this in the 2.0.1 timeframe?
I would like to either assign this defect to someone, or to move it to 2.1 -- 
Anybody have an opinion?

Moving the fix to 2.0.1
It is isolate enought that to have no or little impact.
