Summary: Test Stack Trace Non-Obvious

Initial Comment:
As of 20020913-2254, the test results pane does not show the stack traces for failures.  The only way to access these traces is to pull up the contextual menu for the item by clicking on it within the text pane.  There should be some other indication that this information is available, since context menus on text panes generally provide only edit controls.  It is also bad form to have features hidden through access methods that are not visually discoverable.

A secondary issue is the display of the stack trace in a modal dialog window.  It is unnecessarily difficult to troubleshoot the source of a test failure, since it is impossible to work in DrJava while the stack trace dialog is being displayed.    This information should be available in a less obtrusive manner, IMHO.
