An example program to demonstrate what a stack trace looks like. The stack trace for the main thread is in the comments.

StackTraceExample.java

public class StackTraceExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		StackTraceExample example = new StackTraceExample();
		example.method1();
	}

	public void method1() {
		method2();
	}

	public void method2() {
		method3();
	}

	public void method3() {
		try {
			Thread.sleep(500000);
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}
