Description Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2008-02-01 14:02:28 EST
Confusing exceptions when running automated services.

There are several examples (e.g. 210292) of ASF throwing confusing error messages when running automated services.  The ServiceProxy.java class should provide more meaningful exceptions and error messages (including translated error messages).

Duwayne, please provide a sizing.
Comment 2 DuWayne Morris CLA 2008-02-22 15:18:14 EST
adding first estimate.
Comment 3 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2008-05-21 14:19:18 EDT
Deferring to future as approved by the TPTP PMC (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/tptp-pmc/msg04926.html).
Comment 4 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2008-06-06 12:20:54 EDT
For example, if BIRT/DTP/GEF dependencies or the BIRT Test Reprots are not installed, the following error message is reported:

IWAT0891E Unable to resolve service 'org.eclipse.tptp.test.report.birt.publish-testsuites'.

The error is coming from ServiceProxy.java.
