Description Eduardo Pereira CLA 2001-10-11 14:17:10 EDT 
Exception that wrap other exception such as ClassNotFoundException,
	ExceptionInInitializerError, ExceptionInInitializerError, etc, overwrite the
	printStackTrace(...) methods to print the wrapped exception.

	SWTException should to the same.

	Because users need to see SWTException.throwable, they are hacking Workbench to do:

if (e instanceof SWTException) {
	SWTException swt= (SWTException)e;
	Throwable t= swt.throwable;
	if (t != null) {
		t.printStackTrace();
	}
}
	

NOTES:
Comment 1 Mike Wilson CLA 2001-12-10 12:13:13 EST 
We modified "printStackTrace()" to print the trace for the enclosed exception. 
We did not modify the versions of this method which take an argument (i.e. the 
PrintWriter or PrintStream version) because this would break compatibility 
with J2ME.
