Using e.printStackTrace() in Java

Question

This is probably a newbie question, but hope you can help me. :) I have something like this:

try {  //try to do something there } catch (IOException e) { //handle the exception  e.printStackTrace(); } 

I am using NetBeans IDE and for some reason the printStackTrace is underlined in a squiggly line. When I press Alt+Enter, it says Throwable.printStackTrace() should be removed. What does this mean? Could anyone give more insight as what this may mean? Or can I ignore this?

Thanks!

Try:

e.printStackTrace(System.out);
