Description David Pérez

Steps to reproduce:
- Create a Java project with some files in it.
- Create a 2nd Java project who references the "src" folder of the other project.

After some time, the following error is generated periodically:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2011-03-18 13:23:21.909
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Refreshing external folders".
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.ExternalFoldersManager$RefreshJob.run(ExternalFoldersManager.java:387)
	at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54)

It's quite annoying.
Probably Eclipse gets confused with the linked sources.
