exception when saving project

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Run FindBugs GUI on the "mail" module of Project GlassFish
(http://glassfish.dev.java.net).  I don't remember everything
I did to get into this situation.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I got this exception when trying to save the project:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

I can't figure out how this could happen (the project being null at this 
point). I've put in a stop gap measure that 
will create a project if the project is null when the bugs are saved, but will 
also print out a warning msg to see if 
we can get this down to something I can reproduce.
