This seems not the be reproducible in a consistent way (happens at times and then wont at other occasions) ASSERT: have a connection and project in OpenShift explorer EXEC: in OpenShift explorer: select a project and pick New > Application from the context menu ASSERT: new application wizards shows up Result: OpenShift project combo has no project preselected. You cannot manually select any either. If you hit "New" and try to create a new project, nothing happens. In the Eclipse log you spot the following: !ENTRY org.jboss.tools.openshift.ui 4 0 2016-05-18 21:40:35.667 !MESSAGE Could not create project, missing connection.
