Improve error handling in the extensions system

Description

The extensions system contains code like the example below in several places. It may seem ok, but one common exception is a NoClassDefFoundError (happens when a JAR file is missing), which is not caught by the RuntimeException. This messes up the extension system and a single extension that fails may affect other extensions. I think that in most cases it would be more appropriate to catch Throwable instead. 

try
{
  // code...
}
catch (RuntimeException ex)
{
  log.error(....);
}
