[jira] [Created] (EASYANT-54) Exceptions in initialization phase of project are swallowed

Tim Enderling created EASYANT-54:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Exceptions in initialization phase of project are swallowed
                 Key: EASYANT-54
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EASYANT-54
             Project: EasyAnt
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 0.9
            Reporter: Tim Enderling


BuildExceptions that are thrown when loading plugins during project initialization are not printed out. EasyAnt will just stop without a clue. 

An example of this can be found when using the {{parameter}} task directly inside the project element of a plugin, like in clean-std (which is not a good style anyway, but one of the places that I stumbled into):

{code}
<project name="org.apache.easyant.plugins#clean-std" xmlns:ea="antlib:org.apache.easyant">
    <ea:core-version requiredrevision="[0.9,+]" />

    <ea:parameter property="target" required="true" description="the target directory to clean" />

    <target name="clean-std:clean" description="clean project">
        <echo message="Cleaning ${target}..." />
        <delete dir="${target}" />
    </target>
</project>
{code}

If {{target}} is not set, the usual message from the {{parameter}} task will not be printed.
