A bug is found in resourcerer2BioC or AnnBuilder:::writeDescription.

When the \code{author}, which is defined as a list with members of \code
{author} and \code{maintainer}, passes to \code
{AnnBuilder:::writeDescription}, its value becomes a logical value \code
{TRUE}. 

One more comment to the writeDescription is to let it execute at the
very beginning of the ABPkgBuilder, rather than after a long waiting. 

Because the code of writeDescrition catches the error, the traceback()
does not work in this case. This make the debug very difficult.

Thank you for your excellent work.

Regards,
Xijiang Miao
