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 - I want to get the stack trace back, not print it out.

Hello @kartik,

Try this:

Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();

is fine if you don't care what the first element of the stack is.

new Throwable().getStackTrace();

will have a defined position for your current method, if that matters.

Hope it works!!
Thank You!!
