Error description

• When using the IBM Rational ClearCase RDz integration a Null
  Pointer Exception will be thrown when trying to rename a project
  that is not under ClearCase control. This does not occur if the
  ClearCase integration is not installed.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Start RDz
  2. Create HLL/WB Project
  3. Add the project to ClearCase using the ClearTeam Explorer
  integration.
  4. Using RDz, make a copy of the project and place it into the
  local workspace. This new project copy will have a new name and
  not overwrite the original.
  5) Attempt to rename the newly created copy of the project that
  is outside of ClearCase control.
