In PathEntryManager.getRawPathEntries() initially project nature is checked i.e. cnature or ccnature. If project does not have any of these nature then Exception is thrown. 

I feel this checking is not required. The reason being, if we remove the cnature using CProjectNature.removeCNature() then cnature is removed from the project first then while setting project description back, it will goto getRawPathEntries() and throws Exception (since cnature is removed already).

Reproducible: Always

Can you give some context for this bug report? What user action triggers the exception? Can you attach the stack trace from .log?

This is triggered when you call CProjectNature.removeCNature() to remove the cnature for the project.

I am working on a product which extends CDT, in that i will add cnature to the project and sometimes it's required to remove the cnature from the project. So when i call removeCNature(), i get exception "Project does not contain valid configurations"

The reason for exception is, in removeCNature(), cnature is removed from the project description first then setDescription() is called to set the new project description. But by this time, cnature will be remvoed from project. So when it comes to PathEntryManager.getRawPathEntries(), it checks for cnature and since its removed, it will throw CModelException.
