How can I get the current stack trace in Java?

Question

How do I get the current stack trace in Java, like how in .NET you can do Environment.StackTrace?

I found Thread.dumpStack() but it is not what I want -

Answer 1

StackTraceElement[] stackTraceElements = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();

The last element of the array represents the bottom of the stack, which is the least recent method invocation in the sequence.

A StackTraceElement has getClassName(), getFileName(), getLineNumber() and getMethodName().

loop through StackTraceElement and get your desired result.

for (StackTraceElement ste : stackTraceElements ) 
{
    //do your stuff here...
}
