How do I stop stacktraces truncating in logs

Question

Lots of times in Java logs I\'ll get something like:

Caused by: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: failed batch
    at org.hsqldb.jdbc.jdbcStatement.executeBatch

I found this useful to get the whole picture. Get a full stack trace of the Exception and the cause (which often shows repeated lines from the main Exception, but can be helpful).

        ... catch( Exception e) ...

        ... catch( NoClassDefFoundError e)
        {

                for(StackTraceElement ste: e.getStackTrace())
                {
                    System.out.println(ste);
                }

                if( e.getCause()!=null )
                {
                    for(StackTraceElement ste: e.getCause().getStackTrace())
                    {
                        System.out.println(ste);
                    }
                }
        }
