Neat little function I made

I got tired of my plugin development (and horrid coding style ) spewing stacktraces into the console, so I created this function to write the stacktraces into files and dump those into a stacktrace directory. IF it can't, it'll dump the exceptions into the console instead (the original exception and the exception on why it couldn't dump it into the file)

This could theoretically make it easier to debug too, since you can upload the files to the forums in .txt documents.

Enjoy!

Code:

public void dumpST(Exception e) {
        try {
            FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("dump.txt"); //I use a SimpleDateFormat to generate the filename
            BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
            StackTraceElement[] stack = e.getStackTrace();
            for(int i=0; i < (stack.length); i++)
                { bw.write(stack[i].toString()); bw.newLine(); }
            bw.close();
            fw.close();
        } catch(Exception ex) {
            system.out.println("Unable to Dump Stacktrace into File! Dumping to Console Instead...");
            e.printStackTrace();
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

 

e.getLocalizedMessage() = <3

 

That is nice, but it wasn't enough information for me. I like having the actual stacktrace
