Bug 39272 Java Model Exception when creating a project from scratch
I launched Eclipse 2.1 from a brand new Workspace and from there, created a Java project (called "Works") by pointing Eclipse to the root of my project. The process fails after a short while (whether I press Next or Finish after the first page of the wizard) with a dialog telling me to look at the log. I included the top of the log below (it's about 8k, I can post it in its entirety if there's interest). The error is Java Model Exception: Java Model Status [Works does not exist.] I get the same problem with Eclipse 3.0 M1: I can't create a new project.

URL javadocLocation= (URL) entry.getAttribute(CPListElement.JAVADOC);
			IPath path= entry.getPath();
			if (entry.getEntryKind() == IClasspathEntry.CPE_VARIABLE) {
				path= JavaCore.getResolvedVariablePath(path);
			}
			if (path != null) {
				JavaUI.setLibraryJavadocLocation(path, javadocLocation);
			}			
		} else if (entry.getEntryKind() == IClasspathEntry.CPE_CONTAINER) {
			Object[] children= entry.getChildren(false);
			for (int i= 0; i < children.length; i++) {
				CPListElement curr= (CPListElement) children[i];
				configureJavaDoc(curr);
			}
		}

			for (int i= 0; i < members.length; i++) {

					return true;

			}
