harrah/xsbt — Issue #381: Faiures should identify something tangible (and use real words)

This is a transcript of the scala build if I change the sbt version to 0.12.0-M1. I understand that most of this output must be coming from some plugin. But sbt could at least tell me something, like what plugin that is, or even that a plugin is involved. As it stands I'm there with a broken build, the failure "module not found: org.scala-tools.sbt#scripted-plugin", and the empirically derived knowledge that scripted-plugin is used exactly nowhere. (I realize it must be being used transitively, these being exactly the dots I would like sbt to connect.)

Also, who is the audience for default-2ac879, eff7d7476f58ab859d23, default-9f14df in console output? Is sbt being used by super-robots to build the next generation of death-dealing automatons? Am I the last of the puny flesh beings, the only one who can't pronounce 2ac879 but would still like to know what's happening, a lone McCoy in a world of Spocks? Is the code being built in secret underground laboratory 2A-C879 so thoroughly anonymous that no meaningful label is possible? Dammit Jim, I'm a programmer, not a hexadecimal scanner.
