Description Moritz Eysholdt

if I run "git clean -fdX" on a project, hit F5 in Eclipse, wait for the build,  and launch an MWE2-Workflow afterwards, I get the NPE stated below. 

"git clean -fdX" removes all files that are not managed by git form a working directory, including the files matched by .gitignore. In my case, this means the bin/-folder is deleted and the src-gen/-folder is pruned.

As a workaround it helps to Build->Clean on all projects, so I assume that the build didn't finish correctly the first time. 

I'm posting this since I thing that it would be great to
- either get rid of this NPE
- or have a more meaningful error message.

A fix for this one was pushed some days ago. An IllegalStateException will be thrown if the module cannot be found. Please reopen if the problem persists.
