feature request: more verbose error messages
Currently this occurs:
$ mvn exec:java
-Dexec.mainClass="org.familysearch.digitalarchive.IdisStatusWatcher"
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'exec'.
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[INFO] An exception occured while executing the Java class.

This doesn't give me much information as to what Exception occurred
while executing that class.
Feature request:
when it fails, output more information than normal. In this case it
was that that particular class didn't exist--but you can't tell that
from the error output.
Thanks so much!

Agreed. But this was posted as "feature request" rather than "feature
discussion."
And I think everyone on this list would like to see more useful error
messages out of every piece of Maven that might possibly break. And I
believe this is being addressed (at least a bit) in M3.

Glad you clarified this. I thought it meant literally talking to a
figurative brick wall.

The list is not a bad place to discuss ideas before you post them, to
see if someone can provide a counter argument before it becomes a
permanent record in the JIRA as long as you are aware that it does not
formally count as anything more than idle talk until it is in the JIRA.

Indeed. I think you made your point. I just couldn't help myself.
And to Neil, I read xkcd regularly. Sometimes it leaves me bewildered, sometimes it just doesn't work for me, and sometimes it's hilarious or insightful.

But what you don't realize is that I have a special computer with text
to speech software set up in my basement that reads all my email to
me. And when I'm not around, only the brick walls can hear it.

Really, Wayne? Literally? Where is the wall?

This is not a good place to put feature requests -- they are simply
lost in the general noise of the list.
If you want this to ever be seen by someone who might possible
implement your suggestion, you must file it in Jira. Otherwise you are
quite literally talking to a brick wall.

One thing you could do is to follow what this line says:
[INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch
Another thing is you could run with the -X switch which will generate lots of output, probably enough for you to see what's going wrong.
