code from HEAD

The new Use scan preference page allows you to select an archive that contains a use scan, which is pretty cool, but currently you can select *any* archive, and no validation is done on it to see if it actually has a use scan in it.

When the build runs with an archive that does not contain a use scan you get this handsome exception:

java.lang.Exception: The directory that contains xml reports must be specified

The longer the build went the more of these exceptions I got. I am assuming I get one per project that got built (before I cancelled the build).
