Avoid stacktrace in ErrorLog-Details Window [message #1738261]

Hey guys,

======================================
we have the following scenario:

We are running an Eclipse Job.

An exception is thrown, when an error occurs in this job. Next, this exception is passed to the constructor of the Status class.

This is how we create the Status:
new Status(IStatus.ERROR, bundleName, exception.getMessage(), exception.getCause())

======================================
Now to the problem:
Apparently the Eclipse framework proccesses this Status of a Job and shows an entry in the Error Log view.

If a double-click is performed on such a log entry, the section "Exception Stack Trace" shows the stack trace for the exception.
This is a nice feature, unfortunately we don't want the user to see these "technical" details.

Is there a way to avoid that the stack trace is shown and instead a proper message for the user is displayed?

Any help would be appreciated!

Kind regards =)

The constructor you're calling is Status(int severity, String pluginId, int code, String message, Throwable exception) , so why not use the "message" argument as a *message* rather than needlessly breaking the original exception apart?

Thanks for your fast reply! =)

We already stumbled upon this constructor and tried various variants, so that the dialog meets our needs.

However, how would the following be possible:

- the dialog which appears in case of an error (Job fails) shows additional information when pressing the "Details" button
BUT
- we do not want to see the stacktrace in the "Exception Stack Trace" text area when double clicking the error log entry

Is this a possible use-case?

Thanks for your help! =)

Regards
