This is a feature request. When working with Java, exceptions often get written to the System.out and displayed in the console. It would be nice if these exceptions are automatically folded to a single line, and colored differently for ease of identification. The user can tell that an exception occurred due to the coloring, but doesn't have to scroll for miles to get past the stack trace. If a stack trace is needed, the user can click on the exception to unfold it. 
Thanks!

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
