Print full call stack on printStackTrace()?

Question

I need to write small a log analyzer application to process some log files generated by a 3rd party closed source library (having custom logger inside) used in my project. <

Can't you do something with Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()?

Here's a real simple example which calls a method recursively 20 times and then dumps out the stack of the current thread.

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        method();
    }

    static int x = 0;
    private static void method() {
        if(x>20) {
            StackTraceElement[] elements = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();

            for(int i=0; i
