                 Key: MDA-66
                 URL: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/MDA-66
             Project: Metadata Aggregator
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Command Line
    Affects Versions: 0.6.1
            Reporter: Ian Young
            Assignee: Chad La Joie


I'd like to have a way of terminating the CLI by throwing an exception without ending up with a stack trace.

At the moment, I throw a custom subclass of StageProcessingException called ...TerminationException, which is handled by the CLI like this:

} catch (Exception e) { log.error("Error processing information", e); System.exit(1); }

This results in a stack dump, which isn't very "CLI-ish" to me. I think what I'd prefer would be for the CLI to know about a specific Exception of its own that I could throw to get the log.error and System.exit but without the stack dump. It would probably also have to be a subclass of StageProcessingException in order to propagate through the rest of the system properly. I suggest net.shibboleth.metadata.pipeline.TerminationException.
