[news.eclipse.platform.swt] ErrorDialog: new line in MultiStatus not rec

[jmcoijoij@xxxxxxxxxxx (Jim)]

Hi,

I'm using org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.ErrorDialog with an IStatus object to
communicate detailed errors to the user. 

In the status class "org.eclipse.core.runtime.Status.Status(int severity, 
String pluginId, int code, String 
message, Throwable exception)", a message String containing the new line 
character was given as a parameter.

But the new line character (either \n or \r) is not recognised in the 
ErrorDialog.  
As a result the stack trace, that I want to print out in the Details 
section of the Dialog appears as one continuous line, instead of the usual 
PrintStackTrace structure.
Here's my code:


           Status[] childStatus = new Status[1];
           childStatus[0] = new Status( Status.ERROR, "not_used", 0, 
getStackTrace(e), e );
           MultiStatus m = new MultiStatus( "not_used", 0, childStatus, e
                   .getMessage(), e );
           ErrorDialog err = new ErrorDialog( Display.getDefault()
                   .getActiveShell(), "Match Exception", null, m,
                   IStatus.ERROR );
           err.open();



   
   public static String getStackTrace(Throwable t)
   {
       String s = "";
       
       StackTraceElement[] stackElements = t.getStackTrace();
       for (int i = 0; i < stackElements.length; i++)
       {
           s +=  " at " + stackElements[i].toString() + "\n";
       }
       System.out.println(  s );        
       return s;
   }



Any ideas?
Thanks,
