Question

I have a try/catch thing set up where it will catch all exceptions and then display the error.

Here is my code:

try {
    //CODE THAT COULD ERROR HERE
} catch (final Exception e) {
    System.err.println("Unexpected error: " + e.getStackTrace()[0]);
}

The above code gives me the LAST class that had the error. How do I detect the LAST class of MY PROGRAM that had the error?

Example Output: “Unexpected error: package.ClassName.method(ClassName.java:46)”

I want it to output the line of my program that had the error, not the line of a built-in java class that error-ed because of my program.

Answer 1

e.printStackTrace()

might make you happier. Or print the top of the array of stack trace entries available from the appropriate method.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Throwable.html#getStackTrace()

returns them. The first one is what you are asking for.
