Silently swallowed exceptions in ResolveDependenciesMojo.getModuleDescriptor()

[elharo]

Problem

Two catch blocks in getModuleDescriptor() silently ignore exceptions when extracting module descriptors:

} catch (IOException e) {
    // noop  <-- IOException silently swallowed
}

} catch (ClassNotFoundException | SecurityException | IllegalAccessException | IllegalArgumentException e) {
    // do nothing  <-- Multiple exceptions silently ignored
}

These swallowed exceptions hide errors when reading manifest files or using reflection to access Java 9+ module APIs, making it difficult to diagnose module descriptor extraction failures.

Fix

At minimum, log the exceptions at debug level:

} catch (IOException e) {
    getLog().debug("Failed to read manifest from " + artifactFile + ": " + e.getMessage());
}

} catch (ClassNotFoundException | SecurityException | IllegalAccessException | IllegalArgumentException e) {
    getLog().debug("Failed to extract module descriptor using reflection: " + e.getMessage());
}
