Description

The ConfigurationRender.searchMethod looks up a method by reflection and catches any NoSuchMethodException thrown. There are situations, though, where a ClassDefNotFoundError may be thrown – noticed in the PermissionAdmin Configuration Printer if the ConfigurationAdmin API is not available - which must also be caught to not break the generation of the configuration status ZIP file.

Proposed solution is to just ignore any Throwable and assume "method not found and thus ignore"
