Build Identifier: Version: 3.5.2 Build id: M20100211-1343

Could not acquire children from extension: org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resourceContent

An unexpected exception was thrown.

at org.eclipse.linuxtools.internal.cdt.autotools.core.configure.AutotoolsConfigurationManager.cloneCfg(AutotoolsConfigurationManager.java:275)
	at org.eclipse.linuxtools.internal.cdt.autotools.core.configure.AutotoolsOptionValueHandler.handleValue(AutotoolsOptionValueHandler.java:80)
	at org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.ManagedBuildManager.performValueHandlerEvent(ManagedBuildManager.java:3436)

Traced it down to around line 275 of /org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools.core/src/org/eclipse/linuxtools/internal/cdt/autotools/core/configure/AutotoolsConfigurationManager.java

	// Otherwise, try and find the old id to copy the configuration from
		// or punt if not found
		Map <String, IAConfiguration> savedList = getSavedConfigs(p);
		IAConfiguration oldCfg = savedList.get(oldId); // PROBLEM, savedList==null getSavedConfigs() returns 'null' of .autotools is not there!
		if (oldCfg != null) {
			IAConfiguration newCfg = oldCfg.copy(cfgd.getId());
			tmpList.put(cfgd.getId(), newCfg);
			// Check to see if the new configuration is already stored as part of the project description.
			// If yes, it should already be saved.  This can occur if the configuration was added as part of
			// another CDT Property page and the Autotools Property page was never opened.
			if (CoreModel.getDefault().getProjectDescription(p).getConfigurationById(newId) != null) {
				addConfiguration(p, newCfg);
				return true;
			}
		}

The solution could be to check for null from getSavedConfigs() and handle accordingly.
