Created attachment 202424 [details]
screen shot showing the error.

Remote machine may need to be configured with git.

Steps to reproduce this:
1> Click on New->Project->Sync C/C++ Project. Enter project name. 
2> Choose empty makefile project with remote XL C/C++ tool chain.  
3> Give a remote location for the project instead of default location. 
4> Click on Next twice and click on finish.

Comment 1 Praful Hebbar CLA 2011-09-20 06:11:24 EDT 
Note that accepting the default location for the project location on the first wizard page works fine and does not result in this NPE. It seems that only if we enter  a remote location for the project in step 3 described earlier we get this error.
Comment 2 John Eblen CLA 2011-09-22 10:39:07 EDT 
Yes, sync does not support having a remote project directory. I've added this as a known issue on the wiki.
Comment 3 Greg Watson CLA 2011-10-14 11:58:07 EDT 
Closing this as fixed. I've opened bug 360997 to address problems with the new synchronized project wizard.
