Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

Please see attached screenshot and error details.
This seems to happen every time. When closed eclipse last, there were a combination of 9 .xhtml and .java files that had been open. When started eclipse, the 1st one (an .xhtml file) did not open correctly. Instead, there was a round red circle with a horizontal white bar through the middle and the words: "Could not open the editor: An unexpected exception was thrown and a Details button is displayed. The page (as well as all the others that are opened) had been opened from its original location but is in a folder that is linked to by 4 projects. The other pages opened fine; just the 1st one did not. In order to successfully open that 1st file with the error message, must first close it and then re-open it.

Please see attachment for error messages after clicking on the details button.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create multiple projects.
2.Create folders in one or more of the projects and link to those folders from the other projects
3.Create multiple files in the folders created in #2
4.Close eclipse with many of the files still open (e.g., 9 files)
5.Shutdown the computer, pause and restart (possibly not necessary)
6.Start eclipse

I understand that this has been marked as a duplicate of 329821. Just wanted to add another observation in case it might be helpful:
If the 1st open file (the one furthest to the left in the editor pane) is a .css file, then the error will not occur.
