Description Miles Parker

Currently, when a build fails (I think this is the trigger), buckminster appends the following kind of message to the console:

"TAG-ID 0071 = Query for org.eclipse.amp.build:eclipse.feature, path: org.eclipse.amp.build:eclipse.feature$0.8.0.qualifier -> org.eclipse.amp.examples:eclipse.feature$0.8.0 - org.eclipse.amp.amf.examples.ascape:osgi.bundle$5.1.0.qualifier"

It actually took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how useful this message was. First it didn't occur to me that this was essentially a failure detail message and second it didn't immediately occur to me that I could search back for the tag in the console. (Console/error messages with deep semantics are a more general Eclipse need.) I think it would be really helpful to have a message more like:

"ERROR: See Tag ID 0071 in earlier output = Query for org.eclipse.amp.build:eclipse.feature, path: org.eclipse.amp.build:eclipse.feature$0.8.0.qualifier -> org.eclipse.amp.examples:eclipse.feature$0.8.0 - org.eclipse.amp.amf.examples.ascape:osgi.bundle$5.1.0.qualifier"

Alternatively.,

"INFO: ERROR occurred: See Tag ID 0071 = Query for org.eclipse.amp.build:eclipse.feature, path: org.eclipse.amp.build:eclipse.feature$0.8.0.qualifier -> org.eclipse.amp.examples:eclipse.feature$0.8.0 - org.eclipse.amp.amf.examples.ascape:osgi.bundle$5.1.0.qualifier"

But escalating to error would be helpful because it would mean that this would show up in more console setups.
