Capture, no - but when they're encountered we should fix them.
Over the past week I have experienced the two errors at the end of
this
e-mail.
The first of these errors was reported because a subsystem had not read
all of it's configuration but the reported error gives the impression
there may be a problem with the actual XML.
Well, a bug in the XML parser will almost always look like an XML
parsing error. The only fix for that is to just not have any XML
parsing bugs.
The second error although claiming an extension could not be found
was
actually because the extension could not be loaded as the module
containing a class used by the extension was not referenced from the
module.xml.
This one is due to java.util.ServiceLoader - it eats exceptions instead
of chaining them so you can't see the underlying cause. I'm thinking
about ways to fix that.
