[jira] Commented: (MNG-3523) Bad error message if plugin.xml is missing/corrupt

Aaron Digulla commented on MNG-3523:
------------------------------------

Technically, this is correct but doesn't really help to locate the root cause of the problem. If maven can't read the plugin.xml file of a plugin, it should abort with an error during the XML parsing step instead of trying to use the plugin anyway.

Real world case: The plugin is downloaded via a proxy and the download aborts before the full file is transferred or the proxy returns a HTML file ("A virus was detected blahblah") instead of the JAR. This can lead to corrupt JARs in the repository which leads to the error above.

PS: Not sure if this is "Plugin API" or "Plugins and Lifecycle". Please feel free to move the error report to the right place.
