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.
org.eclipse.jdt.ui/ui/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/ui/wizards/buildpaths/BuildPathsBlock.java
IContainer container= chooseContainer();
			if (container != null) {
				fBuildPathDialogField.setText(container.getFullPath().toString());
			}
		}
	}
	
	private void buildPathDialogFieldChanged(DialogField field) {
		if (field == fClassPathList) {
			updateClassPathStatus();
		} else if (field == fBuildPathDialogField) {
			updateOutputLocationStatus();
		}
		doStatusLineUpdate();
	}	
	
	
	
	
	private void doStatusLineUpdate() {
		IStatus res= findMostSevereStatus();
		fContext.statusChanged(res);
	}
	
	private IStatus findMostSevereStatus() {
		return StatusUtil.getMostSevere(new IStatus[] { fClassPathStatus, fOutputFolderStatus, fBuildPathStatus });
	}
