Description

Currently the web console logs a message of the form

Failed to instantiate plugin org.apache.felix.webconsole.internal.misc.ShellServlet. Reason: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.felix.shell.ShellService

If an embedded plugin cannot be created and installed.

This generic message should be enhanced for the expected use case of not being able to load a plugin due to missing dependency resolution (such as the Apache Felix Shell Service, the Apache Felix SCR API, or any Compendium API).
