Description Brian de Alwis CLA 2016-06-15 10:56:37 EDT 
When using StatusManager.SHOW, the StatusManager should unwrap known wrapper exceptions to display a more useful error message.  Known wrapper exceptions include:

  java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
  org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException
  org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException (to get the Status object)

This is already done by PDEPlugin#logException() for example.
