printStackTrace (); how do I see what it print?

[Peter Hammar]

Hi!

I am trying an connection to an database. It fails and I want to see why...

  

catch (java.sql.SQLException ex) {
			DataCommon.handleError("DataCommon() new DbConnection()", ex, "Something went wrong!", true, true, parent);
		    ex.printStackTrace();  

But how can I see what printStackTrace includes?

Regards

How is this code being run? An application that is started from the command line would print its output to that command line window.

Its a java application that tries to connect to an database when started. I run it from JDeveloper.

I'm not familiar with JDeveloper, but I'm sure it has a console window somewhere. If not, run the app from the OS's command line/console window.
