How can I see a full log of exceptions in JAVA? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You already see them, it's only the ridiculous way Java (and Logback by defaul) prints exceptions by default. This stack trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: aa/bb/DD
        at SOMEWHERE(unknown source)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: aaa.bbb.CC
        at SOMEWHER(unknown source)
        ... 13 more

actually means the following program flow (from bottom to top):

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: aaa.bbb.CC
        at SOMEWHER(unknown source)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: aa/bb/DD
        at SOMEWHERE(unknown source)

The ... 13 more (N common frames omitted in Logback) only means that these exceptions were already printed before. In Logback you can restructure stack track to avoid duplicates and print stack lines always in correct order, see my blog.
