FreeMarker exception handling is erroneous for parsing errors [SPR-279]

[spring-projects-issues]

Darren Davison opened SPR-279 and commented

Initial parsing and loading of templates with parsing errors causes Spring to swallow or wrap the exception, reporting instead a generic template loading exception. If template is fixed and then re-broken, Spring reports the correct FreeMarker exception. The issue causes problems for debugging of faulty FTL files.

explicitly catch and wrap freemarker.core.ParseException when loading template
