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

I suggest that

  Thread.dumpStack()

is an easier way and has the advantage of not actually constructing an exception or throwable when there may not be a problem at all, and is considerably more to the point.
