Hi Chad, I recall the getBundle() in class java.util.ResourceBundle uses a native method to get the caller from the Java stack. And I assume the new privileged sections in JDK 1.3 use a similar approach. Perhaps you can get your fingers under one of those. Another thing: The log4j project used stack trace parsing in earlier version (0.8.3 or so), I remember that someone suggested removing this functionality, but at least you may find some more info on how to do that, and on the pitfalls. Because there are. The log4j project is at http://www.log4j.org. Sorry I don't know the details, but perhaps it will get you started.
