Methods and apparatus, including computer systems and program products to provide a Java virtual machine (VM) a extraction mechanism, which enables the Java VM to store a root set of information, which will also be referred to as exception data, in exception objects. The exception handler that catches the exception object can then call an extraction method to read the exception data from the exception object, extract additional information from the call stack using the exception data, and dump the exception data and extracted information into a file where it can be inspected later. The information dumped into the file can be used to facilitate development and debugging of Java-based software. Unlike other types of trace mechanisms utilized in Java systems, e.g., which may dump the entire core, the extraction mechanism enables a limited amount of information relating to specific exceptions to be stored for later inspection.
