This is a bit frustrating because minified versions of libraries always trip up the Eclipse JS validator.
The development versions do not cause this problem, hence the reason including angular.js instead of angular.min.js.
I have to revisit this though, since having a single version alone in different contexts (development/production) is bound to raise eyebrows.
Perhaps, we could borrow something from yeoman here.

I'd like to hear the AG team's take on this.

Building in 'robust' error handling into the scaffold at the client and the server is still in the works. I hope to have nailed this down by next week. 
For now, the AngularJS scaffold does some client-side validation, while preventing the form submit [1]; note the disabled save button in the screenshots.
The aerogear scaffold generator would need to merge the changes from the plain angular one, to have this capability.

The REST resources (and the error handling protocol) are however a different thing to tackle, and this is what needs nailing down.

P.S. The plain AngularJS (no AG) generated app is available here: https://github.com/VineetReynolds/scaffold-tester
