Since this mailing list is lower traffic, I thought I'd send this to
you guys to play around w/ and try out first before I post it on the
WO mailing list:

Basically it's a database of stack traces that people can add to and
post explanations/fixes for the root cause ... I got so annoyed with
a particular really obtuse exception that was coming out of some
really low level part of EOF (a result of a blanked out column by
EOModeler) that took forever to track down. Basically it will parse
your stack trace and look to see if anyone has posted an explanation
of the same type of exception that came from the same line/class/
method/etc as the the trace you're looking for. I'm thinking I might
make an eclipse plugin or Log4J handler that wires into this via a
webservice to basically intercept exceptions before they display to
you and just lookup the real explanation of the problem ... Never
again will I hunt for the reason a goofy exception occurred :)
I've only loaded a handful of stack traces so far (any exception i
got while i was writing the app itself, i loaded into it :) ).
