We get the occasional NPE in 4.0.0.Final:

This is with Kepler M6, so it may be a side effect of it not being entirely compatible?
It happens while editing in a Team comparison view.
A modal error dialog shows up with a message like "'As-you-type JBT validation. Disabling the marker annotations' has encountered a problem."
I only have this from a single developer, but I'll see if I can reproduce in the 4.1.0b2 nightly we are using now.
