This function seems to think that the cannonicalPath (which is a path resolved
by following links) will always have more segments. If you link a directory to 
a lower part in the filesystem (say Java/a/b/ive to Java/ive) and try to
canonicalizePath the first , the externalPath will have more segments than the
canonicalPath which will cause the following part to throw an exception.

The following is the relevant part of JavaProject.canonicalizePath, with the > 
line being the culprit. I can't understand the meaning of the comment...

	// keep only segments that were in original path and device if it was there
>
IPath result = canonicalPath.removeFirstSegments(canonicalPath.segmentCount() -
externalPath.segmentCount());
	if (externalPath.getDevice() == null) {
		return result.setDevice(null);
	} else {
		return result;
	}
