True exception causes lost when there is no cause chain

[tstordyallison]

Bug is in ExceptionUtils.getRootCause(Throwable throwable) - when the given exception is the root cause (e.g. it has no further causes) the method returns null, instead of e.

Led to quite a lot of digging and the eventual check out and debug of the code to find out what was actually causing my script to fail (a custom FlywayException that told me that I was not replacing on my placeholders...)!

Cheers,

Tom

This was actually working as designed. I have however now changed the design, so that the API calls become simpler and don't need to deal with the null check anymore.
