Description Markus Keller CLA 2004-09-15 03:34:40 EDT 
I200409140800, spawned from bug 73767.

In the Resource Navigator, set up this structure:

zzz (Java Project)
+ src (source folder)
  + a (package)
    + A.java

Somewhere else in the file system, have:
...
+ a (folder)
  + file.txt

Now drag-and-drop the folder '.../a' from an OS file explorer onto the source
folder 'src'. A dialog asks: "zzz/src/a exists. Do you want to overwrite?" with
options "Yes", "Yes to All", "No", "Cancel".

Clicking "Yes" yields an NPE and no copying taking place:
Error Sep 14, 2004 11:41:41.313 Exception in
org.eclipse.ui.actions.CopyFilesAndFoldersOperation.performCopy():
java.lang.NullPointerException
