How can I convert a stack trace to a string?

Question

What is the easiest way to convert the result of Throwable.getStackTrace() to a string that depicts the stacktrace?

Answer 1

WARNING: Does not include cause (which is usually the useful bit!)

public String stackTraceToString(Throwable e) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (StackTraceElement element : e.getStackTrace()) {
        sb.append(element.toString());
        sb.append("\n");
    }
    return sb.toString();
}
