Description:
If a jexl expression has an exception (eg.  
${pojo.methodThatFailsBadly()}, the exception is swallowed in ASTMethod
around line 58 (this is in the jexl library).


Its failure gives a useless message, then the build continues on it's merry way, ignoring any testing problems that might have occurred.

I propose that we patch jexl (I don't know enough about AST generation to do it easily) such that exceptions can be propagated (wrapped into runtimeexceptions if needs be).
