Exception messages targeted for users not developers.
Assume that some end user will be up at 2:00AM trying to meet some deadline when this exception is encountered. Give her a chance and
include filenames, URIs<a/>, classnames, or whatever you have that could help.
Personally I think Jakarta's Ant does a great job of giving helpful error messages.
Looping through objects and calling methods that can throw exceptions can also be a challenge. Should one failure cause everything to stop? |
