Description Ed Willink CLA 2011-12-02 07:49:01 EST 
Somehow, I had an EObject with a null eResource() so I got

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.xtext.resource.IGlobalServiceProvider$ResourceServiceProviderImpl.findService(IGlobalServiceProvider.java:59)
	at org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.hover.DispatchingEObjectTextHover.getHoverInfo(DispatchingEObjectTextHover.java:31)

Unfortunately the NPE locks out all hover text thereafter. It would be nice to leave hover text in place, and perhaps improve or eliminate the console diagnostic.
