[fedora-java] NullPointerException in autotools propaties page

hi, i have got NullPointer error in project propaties page on autotools-plugins.

in AutotoolsDefaultBuildDirHandler, sometimes AutotoolsDefaultBuildDirHandler("status")
 returned null. (it happen that didn't add configure to Used tools, didn't
 push apply button, when builder is autotools.)
just aviod by continue.

in MakeGenerator, at similler situation. when didn't apply tool-chain yet, but values are
changed. then push ok to invoke this.
if buildDir isn't null, return new Path(buildDir).
otherwise return null. the caller of this function may handle by set to default build value.
(at least in cdt-HEAD)

i'm not sure this is a correct way from a design viewpoint.

btw, i saw `FIXME: Use holder to set option value, not the "option" parameter`.
it may be related?
but i didnt see deeply yet. so i just put only a quick patch here.
