Provide informative messages when POM is invalid
------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-1404
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1404
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Improvement
    Versions: 2.0    
    Reporter: Barry Kaplan


When a pom is invalid the error message should identify the problem. For 
example, in the POM below the closing "dependencies" element is misspelled, yet 
the error messages is only:

[WARNING] POM for: 'springframework:spring:pom:1.2.6' does not appear to
> be valid. Its will be ignored for artifact resolution.
> Reason: Parse error reading POM
> [DEBUG]   springframework:spring:jar:1.2.6 (selected for compile)
