Summary: Don't let exceptions kill the build

Initial Comment:
When using Clirr to create reports, failures related to the class loading (missing jars or classes) would be better reported with the remaining errors to stdout or the output file - perhaps a special category called "FAILURE" could be created to support those.

The fact that those errors kill the Clirr process and dump a stack trace to stderr makes them it hard to integrate Clirr with other tools through automated scripts to generate reports. 

Thanks,
  Nascif

I am using the command-line - have not tried the others.

By killing the process I mean not handling runtime errors when running
clirr, and calling System.exit. This is not so bad for me now because I am
calling Clirr multiple times, one for each jar, since I want to be able to
group the generated messages. 

But the output to stderr and the stack traces for uncaught exceptions are
problematic.

I didn't find any calls to System.exit() in the core checker code.
Which frontend are you using (Commandline/Ant/Maven) and what do you mean
by "kill the Clirr process"?
