             Summary: Cordova plugin addition and removal fails when config.xml is in a linked folder
                 Key: JBIDE-18711
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18711
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: aerogear-hybrid
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Final
         Environment: Oracle JDK 1.8.0_05, Mac OS X Mavericks
            Reporter: Vineet Reynolds


When config.xml is present in an Eclipse Linked folder (not in a symbolic link), then attempting to add or remove plugins (and possibly other operations on config.xml) fails with a spurious NullPointerException (without a stacktrace).

This pretty much means that the Hybrid Mobile application project with a linked folder for 'www' is in a read-only state for plugin addition/removal. If any plugin should be added or removed, the linked folder must be dropped, converted to an ordinary folder (or symbolic link), and then re-created after modifications.
