Description

When the maven plugin is applied on a type system that contains a type that sepcifies a feature with a reserved name, e.g., type or address, then only an NPE is thrown without any indicator what went wrong (with the default logging settings). Some error message/logging in the default use case could save some time searching for the problem.
