Description

The org.apache.velocity.runtime.directive.Parse class is "eating" RuntimeExceptions thrown by Nodes being rendered on line 195. These errors are logged, but are not rethrown.

These types of errors are typically NPE being thrown by model objects trying to render themselves using their toString() method.

It is better if any RuntimeExceptions are not caught by this method, as it allows the calling code to document/report the error.
