[MRESOLVER-673] Error message emitted by Resolver should be much clearer in case of missing or bad dependency version

[jira-importer]

Michael Vorburger opened MRESOLVER-673 and commented

As discussed Tamas Cservenak in enola-dev/enola#1040 (comment), and creating this issue just for his convenience, quote:

The error message emitted by Resolver: "''dependencies.dependency.version' for com.github.multiformats:java-multihash:v1.3.4 is missing." was very misleading, but what happens in reality, is that Resolver shows us GAE (groupId, artifactId, extension!), but as we see version (we "know" v1.3.4 is a version) this error makes no sense. Resolver could improve this message, as all would be clear from beginning if message would be something like "'dependencies.dependency.version' for G=com.github.multiformats; A=java-multihash; E=v1.3.4 is missing."

PS: I didn't set the Affects Version because I couldn't easily figure out which version of maven-resolver is used by https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang.
