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 -

Maybe you could try this:

catch(Exception e)
{
    StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
    PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(writer);
    e.printStackTrace(pw);
    String errorDetail = writer.toString();
}

The string 'errorDetail' contains the stacktrace.
