When a project that has an invalid (absent in current userdir) tool collection is opened, user isn't warned that tool collection is invalid. This is correct for local, remote and full remote projects as well. I believe there should be some kind of a warning. If a java project has such broken dependency, a special badge is shown on a project and a menu item that allows to fix this appears on the project. I think CND should do the same.
