It was about time somebody creates something like this. I do have a complain, classes are named random. If you used a tool that generates human like names, it would still be random but looked much better. I will see to create a similar rails tool. I intend to test just stress of people who will look at the code and try to understand what it does.

#12I'm glad to learn that entire businesses exist thanks to the fact that Java has overly verbose exception outputs which are designed to hide the information you are seeking between 200 lines of call stack prints.
When something blows, arent you just happy to get as much information as possible? I remember when developing in VB classic, youd get something lile "error -68377388484". Perhaps you prefer this?

#14Hi, Alex from OverOps here. We've created the "Bullshifier" internally to stress test edge cases with our own monitoring tool ( http://www.overops.com ). Whenever an exception or a logged error / warning happens in production, it shows you the complete source code leading to it, and the full variable state across the entire call stack. Using Java Bullshifier, we're able to generate random applications with call stack…

I prefer something in between. Something like: the method that called the current method, the line number and a sentence describing the exception. No need to know the function-that-called-the-function-that-called-the-fun[...]

We've actually thought of using a random pool of Star Wars related names, will have to wait for the next version. Pull requests are welcome though :P
