http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-3730
If a xml plugin has malformed syntax it will cause the agent to fail to start with the following in the logs:
2010-02-11 17:31:24,719 ERROR [Thread-1] [AgentDaemon] Agent startup error:
org.hyperic.hq.agent.server.AgentStartException: Unable to initialize plugin manager: Error on line 78 of document file:///opt/hq/agent/agent-4.2.0-EE/wrapper/sbin/: The element type "plugin" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</plugin>".
at org.hyperic.hq.agent.server.AgentDaemon.startPluginManagers(AgentDaemon.java:695)
at org.hyperic.hq.agent.server.AgentDaemon.start(AgentDaemon.java:828)
at org.hyperic.hq.agent.server.AgentDaemon$RunnableAgent.run(AgentDaemon.java:926)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
The agent should ignore the plugin and continue to start
To reproduce I used a plugin.xml with just "</plugin>" in it.
