Resolving "An error occurred [com.eviware.soapui.plugins.auto.factories.AutoDiscoveryMethodFactory]"

Thanks for adding this as a feature request, it would be nice to clear it up, as it looks untidy and alarms people!

A while ago I hesitated about committing a quick fix - basically I was going to:

• Catch the exception
• Instead display a warning level log message e.g. 'Plugin uses annotation [<Annotation Name .e.g AutoImportMethodFactory>], which is not supported in this version of SoapUI.'

Does something like this sound acceptable? It would at least look less alarming. The reason I hesitated before was because I'd assumed that the mismatch in plugin technology was work in progress i.e. the SoapUI O/S plugin framework could be made compatible in a future release, but this does not seem to be the case, at least no so far.

I think I wrote code to do this somewhere, so if that approach seems ok to people I could try committing it and raising a pull request.

Thanks,

Rupert
