Description

When you have the situation, that while setting a property through hivemind an exception is thrown inside the set-method, you only get simple message, saying that the update of a property failed with a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException. This is not very informative, since the real cause can be anything, ranging from ClassNotFound to anything imaginable. Therefore I enhanced the org.apache.hivemind.ApplicationRuntimeException so that it inits the cause of the ARE to the one supplied with its constructor. Very simple change, just add the corresponding super-constructor argument. I have a patch file, that holds these changes.
