  plugin does not capture it. Instead, we only see an exception
  during execution.
  
  
  <!-- Example plugin.xml -->
  
  <property name="releaseUrl" required="true">
    <property-ui type="textBox" label="myExampleLabel"
  hidden="true"
      description="The label of which my example is using"
      default-value="${p:system/someProp}"/>
    here is my mistake text
  </property>
  
  When loading the plugin, UCD will not report any problem.

  shown below:
  
  Invalid plugin in directory
  /opt/ibm-ucd/agent-orange/var/plugins/com.urbancode.air.plugin.m
