No workspace created when "skip project selection" is used [message #1412877]

I tried to deploy a simple Eclipse DSL tools product without any project and wanted to add some setup items into its installation.setup. However, it seems that Ooomph did not store the workspace location in the user.setup and this causes problems. In addition, performing the setup tasks manually from Eclipse throws some errors:

java.lang.NullPointerException
 at org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui.wizards.ConfirmationPage.enterPage(ConfirmationPage.java:247)
 at org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui.wizards.SetupWizard.pageChanged(SetupWizard.java:263)

Is using no project a supported usage or should I create a very basic (single-stream, empty) project and use that instead?

If the user selects no project (i.e. skip selection) the installer assumes that the chosen product contains a
WorkspaceTask. But that isn't always the case, especially with none of the Eclipse.org products. I guess we should check
that more carefully and disable the "skip" checkbox accordingly. Please submit a bugzilla.
