Open the xml file with XML editor , then change the extention name of the xml file , eclipse will throw NullPointerException.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create project
2. Create xml file and open the xml editor
3. Try to rename the xml file and remove xml extension (you can try use .x or anything else than xml - it works as well)

This is ultimately a limitation of the Structured Text Editor and its dependency on content types to support the structured model and this NPE and other problems stem from it being an unsupported content type in the Structured Text Editor. Bug 320996 has already been opened to investigate.
