Description

Currently NonExistingResource.getParent() returns null in case the parent does not exist either. According to the javadoc of Resource.getParent() null should only be returned when the current resource is already the root resource.
Therefore NonExistingResource.getParent() should rather return a NonExistingResource as well, in case the parent does not exist.
