release:prepare eats the root cause of the exception
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MRELEASE-515
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-515
             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-9
            Reporter: Kohsuke Kawaguchi


The PrepareReleaseMojo.execute() method contains the following statement:

{code:java}
try
{
    releaseManager.prepare( config, getReleaseEnvironment(), reactorProjects, 
resume, dryRun );
}
catch ( ReleaseExecutionException e )
{
    throw new MojoExecutionException( e.getMessage(), e );
}
catch ( ReleaseFailureException e )
{
    throw new MojoFailureException( e.getMessage() );
}
{code}

As you can see, the stack trace and nested exception of the 
ReleaseFailureException is lost, which makes it unnecessarily hard to diagnose 
the root cause of problems like MRELEASE-332. The code should be modified to 
something like:

{code}
throw (MojoFailureException)new MojoFailureException( e.getMessage() 
).initCause(e);
{code}
