Do not show the SAXParseException when trying to parse the AndroidManifest.xml file #327
Description
Today I was writing the most beautiful Android application when AA suddenly threw that error right in my face :
Unexpected error. Please report an issue on AndroidAnnotations, with the following content: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
Content is not allowed in prolog. at

I was having a syntax error in my AndroidManifest, the project wasn't compiling and an error was shown on the AndroidManifest.
I think we could simply catch and ignore that exception from AA, there is no reason to add a second error on the Activity if another is already displayed on the AndroidManifest file by Eclipse.
Or we can add an error with a more understandable message like "Hey honey ! I'm AndroidAnnotations and I'm Unable to parse the AndoridManifest.xml file. Please fix that file if you want i build the greatest application"
