NullPointerException: serverHTML Language Server

See original GitHub issue

I get this error sporadically and a few seconds before, the fan of my machine goes wild and the Eclipse IDE does respond very bad. The fan does not stop until I kill Eclipse and restart again. It’s not the fault of eclipse, but of this plugin:

An internal error occurred during: "Setting watch projects on serverHTML Language Server (VSCode)".
java.lang.NullPointerException

I have to kill eclipse IDE and restart again to run normally.

Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers Version: 2020-12 (4.18.0) Wild Web Developer (v0.10.6.202101221720)

I looked at the code and may have found 2 possible causes:

Either 1 project is “virtual” and doesn’t resolve to a filesystem location, or
the file is closed shortly after it’s opened, so the job to update the watched folder gets triggered after the LS is stopped, causing to go into an unstable state.

Both are addressed with https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/lsp4e/lsp4e/+/175677 . I’ll merge it later and then will ask you to try the newer LSP4E snapshots to verify they fix the issue.
