Elliotte Rusty Harold updated MNG-5693: --------------------------------------- Description: If a plugin fails for any reason, a general message is logged with a reference to a wiki page, which never contains the real reason why the plugin failed. For users this is very confusing. Even when they finally see a link, it's quite frustrating for them that they still don't know what happened. {{MojoExecutionException}} and {{MojoFailureException}} should never refer to a wikipage anymore. Plugin writers should get more control over the message written to the console. was: If a plugin fails for any reason, a general message is logged with a reference to a wiki page, which never contains the real reason why the plugin failed.
