L3 - Default In general, when the process model to deploy is invalid an exception is thrown. The exception message usually provides details about the problem. But there are some edge cases (see attachments), where the deployment of a process model fails, but the exception message doesn't provide any details about the actual problem.
In case of testXMLParsingErrors.bpmn
Cockpit shows the exception message:
The resource could not be updated.ENGINE-09003 Could not parse 'testXMLParsingErrors.bpmn'.
The corresponding stacktrace looks like this:

- a proper exception message is provided, which describes the actual problem
- therefore the thrown exception message could contain the message of the (root) cause exception
