I'm restarting a workspace that I created yesterday and I'm getting the following exception.
The only thing that was kind of weird about the initial setup of this workspace was that I had a project that was closed by the editor for the pom contained in this project was not closed.
After I closed the editor and restarted, the NPE was gone.
