hi,

we are migrating our projects to buildr and there is often the case that we=
 miss to copy some folder or something is empty.

in this case rake aborts with:

Don't know how to build task ''

this error message is not very helpfull especially for the newbees around.

i played around a little bit with the messages produced in rake to at least=
 specify the current scope of the failure, but i was not very pleased with =
my approach.

is there some better way to provide a detailed error-message?

i would expect somthing like:

- Could not build forder 'src/test/java' because it does not exist -

kind regards,
peter=
