Very frustrating! When an XML parsing error occurs you get a huge error log but no where does it tell you which .bpmn file it occurred in. With a dozen or more .bpmn files the only way to locate it is to attempt to open each one and check the xml text until you find it.
It would be a huge time saver if the engine just logged the file that the error occurred on.
