Question

  File f = new File(\"\");

Answer 1

There is an API in Throwable interface getStackTrace() which is used internally for printing in console by printStackTrace()

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Throwable.html#getStackTrace()

Try this API to get StackTraceElement and print those elements sequentially.
