If the build is successful, the Eclipse Console displays a message, such as: 
Insight Pack build is successful.
C:\ayu\projects\mycontentpackproject\dist\mycontentpackproject_v1.0.0.0.zip
If the build is not successful, Eclipse Console displays error messages such as:
the *.json files in metadata folder are  not in well format or have syntax errors.
