I just got the following exception (by way of the automated error reporting), which is hardly actionable; from the error message one cannot know which configuration element was affected. IMHO, including the name and contributorId in the exception's message would help a lot.

Exception:org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Executable extension definition for "class" not found.
