That might be, but I don't see the point in having "An exception occured!"
in the exception message. There are many other messages which don't
contain such a prefix because they are more specific. I don't have a
problem with "Unexpected end of file exception. Message: {0}" It should be
the job of the application built with the parser to supply a prefix if it
would display the message to a user. I know that an error occurred because
I received a call to my error handler with the error message; that there
was an error is implicit. It would be clear to anyone reading the
unprefixed message because the types end with the word Exception.
Error: "An exception occured! Type:RuntimeException, Message:The primary
document entity could not be opened. Id=c:\files"
-vs-
Error: "RuntimeException: The primary document entity could not be opened.
Id=c:\files"
