[Jscheme-devel] BacktraceException

[Kyle R . B. <mo...@vo...>]

Not being 100% familiar with the code-base, I'm not sure if this 'fix' is 
the right approach.

I was trying to track down a bug in some of my Java code being called
from Scheme -- the final line in the Backtrace was just 
java.lang.NullPointerException (not very informative).  After digging in 
the JScheme sources a bit, can we just add a 

  this.exception.printStackTrace(s);

To the else block in printStackTrace so the Java part of the stack trace 
is dumped as well as the scheme part(s)?

A patch that seems to work is attached.

Also, is src/build/bootstrap the only way (right way) to build the code?
I had to compile BacktraceException.java by hand and then run bootstrap
to re-build the jar file, but that somehow feels wrong.  Has the project 
considered Ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/) as a build tool?


Thank you for your time.
