Build Identifier: I20110127-2034

Running the Display action (ctrl+shift+d) on a method invocation that throws shows only the class of the exception.

It'd be much more useful to show the stack-trace and the message from the exception.  (These are currently (sometimes) sent to the console.)

This would also be useful in the Inspect action and the Expressions view.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a class that calls a function that throws, e.g.
class Scratch {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    foo(); // line 3
  }

  private static void foo() {
    throw new RuntimeException();
  }
}

2. Breakpoint line 3 and run.
3. When the debugger is stopped on line 3, highlight foo() and execute Display (ctrl+shift+d).

You'll get:
"Error Evaluating: An exception occurred: java.lang.RuntimeException", instead of a stack-trace.
