Description Peter Kullmann CLA 2011-05-03 05:39:51 EDT 
I have a feature containing a product. If the product has no ID buckminster complains with a NullPointerException. 

In the workspace pressing save on the product:
Project refresh on test.feature failed: null

On a headless build with this feature included:
ERROR   [0002] : java.lang.NullPointerException
INFO:  TAG-ID 0002 = Query for test.feature:eclipse.feature, path: site.feature:eclipse.feature$1.0.0.qualifier

Adding Debug output or displayStackTrace does not help.

Of course, a product should have an ID, but this NPE was really hard to find without a corresponding error message.

Implemented better handling of missing id's in products, features, and plug-ins.
