        Found through this stack overflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/q/69943899

        If e.g. a MultiReleaseException is thrown from VersionHelper.java:60 [1], it will be wrapped in an ExecutionException, and then re-wrapped in an Error in DependencyFinder.java:271 [2].

        As a result, the main logic for reporting errors in JdepsTask::run will not recognize the exception and report the error properly [3], resulting in a stack trace with an empty exception message instead (like in the SO question).

        Perhaps the cause of the ExecutionException at [2] should be re-thrown instead of wrapping it in an Error.

        See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8277165 for a reproducer.
