Method Detail

getMessage

public static java.lang.String getMessage(java.lang.Throwable ex)

Java exceptions often contain no message or a few details *without* describing the actual error. For example IndexOutOfBoundsException has the message "Index ... Size ..." but does not include "Index Out Of Bounds" in its message. FileNotFoundException includes the file path, but does not include "File not found". So when displaying the message to a user, one is forced to either show Throwable.getMessage() which shows meaningless information or Throwable.toString() which includes the full type name, e.g. "java.lang.nio.NoSuchFileException"

getStackTrace

public static java.lang.String getStackTrace(java.lang.Throwable ex)

Gets the stack trace as a String (i.e. the text that would be printed by printStackTrace)
