If you exit Eclipse while inside a directory that gets deleted while Eclipse is not loaded, when reloading Eclipse, the PHP Explorer becomes stuck within that directory.  The Project > Open Project does not get you out of that directory.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Let's say you have a PHP Project with two directories:

/application/
/application/modules/

1. Open Eclipse, and Go Into /application/modules/
2. Exit Eclipse.
3. Delete the "modules" directory.
4. Re-enter Eclipse.
5. PHP Explorer is stuck at that directory.

The same also happens when you delete an entire project.

1. Since neon by default workspace refresh on startup
2. Since mars (or earlier) resources auto refresh on access, so if not exists they disappear (especially files)
3. You can enable in eclipse preferences auto refreshing (pooling FS).
4. PHP Explorer no longer froze eclipse if changed outside eclipse

Marking as fixed. Other side effects after removing file/project outside eclipse other than eclipse unresponsive shoud be marked as wontfix.

After opening eclipse the PHP Explorer goes up to the WS level. Closing
