Hi, Eclipse is complaining about a NullPointerException when running the builder named 'Validation' on all of the projects in my workspace. This is triggered whenever I do a "clean" operation.

I first noticed it one night after I did an Egit pull and tried to clean. It has been happening ever since on my machine, but not to anyone else in my office.

I was at first using Indigo, but I thought maybe if I did a clean Eclipse install the problem would go away - so I installed Juno and the same error appeared before I even began installing any addons!

Is this a bug? Here is the log:

go to your workspace folder and clean it like this:

~/workspace/.metadata/.plugins$ rm -rf org.eclipse.wst.*


I hope this will help, at least it work in my case.
