Exceptions when opening linked resource [message #758552]

My DSL extension is .gf
I want to open a .gf file which is external to the workspace in my plugin. When I try this naively via the File -> Open menu I get the following:

!ENTRY org.apache.log4j 4 0 2011-11-23 09:52:18.914
!MESSAGE org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.CompoundXtextEditorCallback  - Was configured with another client or not configured at all.

!STACK 0
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Was configured with another client or not configured at all.
    at org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.DirtyStateEditorSupport.removeDirtyStateSupport(DirtyStateEditorSupport.java:318)
    ...(trimmed)...

I managed to partially get around the problem by creating resource links within my project to these external resources, as explained here in the Eclipse documentation.

This works pretty well, the external files are opened, syntax highlighting works and the LanguageSpecificURIEditorOpener.selectAndReveal() method even correctly highlights the referenced identifier.

However I keep getting the following exception which annoying pops up in the client application each time one of these linked files is opened:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2011-11-23 16:50:39.343
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Xtext validation".
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.validation.AddMarkersOperation.execute(AddMarkersOperation.java:84)
	at org.eclipse.ui.actions.WorkspaceModifyOperation$1.run(WorkspaceModifyOperation.java:106)
	at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Workspace.run(Workspace.java:2344)
	at org.eclipse.ui.actions.WorkspaceModifyOperation.run(WorkspaceModifyOperation.java:118)
	at org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.validation.MarkerIssueProcessor.processIssues(MarkerIssueProcessor.java:43)
	at org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.validation.ValidationJob.run(ValidationJob.java:67)
	at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54)

From my understanding this case is simply not handled. All I really want to do is suppress the exception but I'm not ever sure where I would be able to do this.

Any ideas how I could overcome this?

So finally I found out that this was being caused since I did not have the Xtext nature enabled on my test project.
I did so and all these problems seemed to magically go away...
