Patching EAP 6.4 returns only "Patching Exception" rather than providing the actual reason for failure

Environment

• Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Server (EAP)
  • 6.4.x

Issue

• If you try to apply a patch on a wrong or unexpected version of EAP 6.4, the CLI command returns with only "Patching Exception" message rather than a detailed or verbose message regarding what version was expected and what version was encountered. For example, if you try to apply CP09 on EAP 6.4.9, it returns with just "Patching Exception " rather than "Patch does not apply - expected (a.b.c.GA), but was (x.y.z.GA)"
