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.

You can use Thread. currentThread(). getStackTrace() . That returns an array of StackTraceElement s that represent the current stack trace of a program.
Using printStackTrace() method − It print the name of the exception, description and complete stack trace including the line where exception occurred. Using toString() method − It prints the name and description of the exception. Using getMessage() method − Mostly used. It prints the description of the exception.
A stack trace (also known as a stack backtrace) is a report of the active stack frames at a certain point in time during a thread's execution. Java's Throwable class (in the java. lang package) provides methods to print a stack trace, fill in a stack trace, and access a stack trace's elements.
To read this stack trace, start at the top with the Exception's type - ArithmeticException and message The denominator must not be zero . This gives an idea of what went wrong, but to discover what code caused the Exception, skip down the stack trace looking for something in the package com.
You can use Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace().
That returns an array of StackTraceElements that represent the current stack trace of a program.

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.
