I've got a locally changed version of App that uses negative return codes 
and has a set of them to match different failure conditions:

    /** return code for ok processing */
    private static final int RC_OK = 0;
    /** return code from command prompt when a bad argument is passed */
    private static final int RC_BAD_ARG = -10;
    /** return code from command prompt when initialization fails */
    private static final int RC_INIT_ERROR = -20;
    /** return code from command prompt when a goal isn't found */
    private static final int RC_NO_GOAL = -30;
    /** return code for bad repository configuration */
    private static final int RC_BAD_REPO = -40;
    /** return code for a goal with no actions */
    private static final int RC_EMPTY_GOAL = -50;
    /** return code for a goal that failed */
    private static final int RC_GOAL_FAILED = -60;
    /** return code for a goal failed from jelly exception being thrown */
    private static final int RC_JELLY_FAILED = -70;
    /** return code for a failure due to Jelly issues */
    private static final int RC_BAD_JELLY = -80;
    /** return code for a failure due to anything else */
    private static final int RC_OTHER_FAILURE = -90;
