What Jose says makes an enormous ammount of sense and I like it, but it means
either we are saying... "well don't write npe's" to the user or we would need to
change the way tasks are called to auto-wrap them in a try catch that converts
any  exceptions into build exceptions. This could be a back compatability issue
if people have custom tasks that call other tasks and rely on the non-build
exceptions leaking out.

Perhaps if the default inherited execute() looked like this:

try {
   safeExecute()
} catch (Exception e) { 
   throw new BuildException(e) 
}

Then existing tasks could obtain the new behavior by replacing execute() with
safeExecute() and recompiling I think errors/generic throwables should not be
caught.
