Description Beth Tibbitts

when i make a new connection with "Remote Host" as the name (WITH SPACE) i get a npe when i hit the browse button 

Using Eclipse 3.7 indigo M4  I20101208-1300
PTP installed from indigo M4 staging is  5.0.0.201012140925	

New remote c/c++ project (this is the first one i tried)
leave the names as "Remote Host" with spaces in the name
enter the remote address and userid and password
click the 'browse' button to find directory

NPE popup with no additional information

Error log shows this:

Looking for the original bug about space in the name....

Here is the previous bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=325650 but it presented problem at a different point

The steps between 'New remote c/c++ project (this is the first one i tried)' and 'leave the names as "Remote Host" with spaces in the name' are missing.

Also, how do you know it's related to the space in the name? Are you able to browse when there is no space in the name?

yes i tried one right after that with the usual abe.ncsa.uiuc.edu as the name and it worked fine.
will post more details....  assuming i can still get it to fail.   argh.

Cannot reproduce. argh.
Wondering if it was a network glitch, remote host possibly not reachable at that time or something.
