Is it possbile to expand on the message a bit to let someone know what to do? If a user get's this
error what should they do? I understand its an exceptional condition but if we can give them a hint
as to what action to take I think that would be better.

Looks like there is a minor bug in ServerConstants with this:
<snip>
static {
Properties versionInfo = new Properties();
try {
versionInfo.load(ServerConstants.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("org/apache/geronimo/system/serverinfo/geronimo-version.properties"));
} catch (java.io.IOException e) {
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(new Exception("Could
not load geronimo-version.properties", e));
}
</snip>
The problem is that if the properties files is not found, then a NPE is
thrown which does not get caught by the IOException handler and then
resulting ExceptionInInitializerError error does not contain the detail
as to why.
I'm seeing this when trying to build the m2 site, looks like clover is
not picking up the resources because they are not in the standard
location where m2 suggests they be.

While it is a minor problem, we really should modules to use the
standard locations soonish.
I'm going to fix this with:
<snip>
static {
Properties versionInfo = new Properties();
try {
InputStream input =
ServerConstants.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("org/apache/geronimo/system/serverinfo/geronimo-version.properties");
if (input == null) {
throw new Error("Missing geronimo-version.properties");
}
versionInfo.load(input);
}
catch (java.io.IOException e) {
throw new Error("Could not load
geronimo-version.properties", e);
}
</snip>
