#18 Update Context fails with error if optional work dir is not specified

[Mike Snare]

Project -> Properties -> Tomcat -> General

If the "Subdirectory to set as web application work (optional)" is not filled out, then attempting to invoke the "Update context definition" action fails with the following stack trace:
