Description Fredrik Berg Kjolstad CLA 2010-05-31 11:19:16 EDT 
I get a NullPointerException when I create a Remote C/C++ project using RSE where the Remote System is not configured to use a dstore.processes services or when this service is configured, but not connected.

The bug is the following null-pointer exception:
An internal error occurred during: "C/C++ Indexer".
java.lang.NullPointerException


Steps to reproduce:
1. New -> Remote C/C++ Project
Remote Provider: RSE
Connection: someserver-ssh (SSH-Only Remote System)
Remote Makefile Project: Linux GCC
2. Next Next Next Finish
3. *Exception*

If I instead choose a remote system that also provides a dstore.processes service I get the same error in addition to the following:
Error Updating Discovered info. Updating discovered includes and macros. Details: Error updating discovered info.


System Information:
Local System:     Mac OS X 10.5.8.
Remote System: Linux 2.6.27
Eclipse Version:  Eclipse Helios M7
CDT Version:      cdt-master-7.0.0-I201005211239

One resolution would be to programatically turn of indexing and then inform the user that it has been turned off and why.

FYI only dstore connections are supported with RSE.
