Could not save project: null error
When I add or delete files outside of intellij idea 8.1.2 in my project, then I start getting this error, each time I click outside of intellij idea after getting foucs back to intellij idea:
Could not save project: null error
After this if I exit Idea, idea.exe process is still running and I cannot start idea again until I manually kill this process.
The problem only goes away after I reboot the whole PC (Win XP). But now the problem is back even without addding
or deleting files in project.
Can some one help me here?
I have Idea 8.1.1 but apparently it upgraded itself to idea 8.1.2. I did not have this issue in Idea 7.

Hello al,
The exception happens because you're using jar directories and the Eclipse
format for storing dependencies. That is not supported, and you'll need to
reconfigure the project.
(The diagnostics could have been better, of course.)

Some days ago this problem got fixed and I dont know how it got fixed.
But today when I upgraded to IDEA 8.1.3, the problem has come back
and even worse. Attached is idea log file. I cannot even exit IDEA and save
my project changes because IDEA has crashed. I have to manually terminate
idea.exe process before I can start IDEA again. When I start IDEA again, it did not
save my changes especially regard to jar lib reference to see if it could fix
the problem. So I am trapped. Please help. It killed my whole day today.

Hello .. I am running into the same error but the cause is a null pointer exception. This happens when I try adding a jar file to the class path in my project settings. I have attached the idea.log file.

Ive been suffering from this 'project null' affliction for the past day. What a horrible experience!
How i solved my problem:
I use a directory based project structure for intelliJ 10.5.4
I deleted misc.xml and workspace.xml
and invalidated my caches and restarted intelliJ (Setting under file)
hope that helps
