Description Michael Vorburger CLA 2011-09-10 19:12:59 EDT 
At least in the 2.5.0 branch the OSGILauncher has a bug causing it to loose ("swallow") root cause Exception if there are any start-up issues:

In http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/source/org.eclipse.birt.core/src/org/eclipse/birt/core/framework/osgi/OSGILauncher.java?view=markup&revision=1.19&root=BIRT_Project&pathrev=BIRT_2_5_0_Branch :

line 95 of OSGILauncher should be changed from

   throw new CoreException( ex.getMessage( ), ex );

to

   throw new CoreException( ex.getMessage( ), new Object[0], ex );


Please see http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-5119 for more.

I've noticed that in the current HEAD that code was changed a bit, and this problem may not be there anymore, but I haven't tested it and thought I'd let you know about it anyways - if only to apply to some older maintenance branch where this still occurs, if you have any.
