The problem appears to be that eclipse can't create a file buffer from files without extensions. see bug 162447
FWIW I can't reproduce this with eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-6 (I was able to reproduce it with older versions though) My test case is the Classpath ChangeLog file, though I have edited several ChangeLog files and other files without extensions successfully.
Hmm. Jeff's finished now so should we close this RAWHIDE?
This works reliably for me with rawhide eclipse. I've tried a number of different projects.
