In class org.eclipse.gmf.internal.common.URIUtil, the handling of URIs in "public static IFile getFile(URI uri)" seems to miss some conversion. If the Project Name includes e.g. spaces, which are represented as "%20" in the uri, the tool can not locate the file (line 35) and therefore the workspaceResource contains null instead of an IFile instance. If using a project name without problematic characters, everything works fine. This happens for example in GMF Dashboard, which makes use of the URIUtils when invoking the Edit Action for some model file.

Converting the uri-coded characters to a string would be a solution.

Tests to reproduce:
1. Create new GMF project named "Test GMF"
2. Open View GMF Dashboard
3. Click on Domain Model -> Create
4. Follow the Wizard with default settings
5. Close the the newly opened editor
6. Click Domain Model -> Edit (Bug: Nothing happens, no Editor opens)

Using "Test_GMF" in step 1 reproduces correct behaviour.
