Thread stack trace to string

What is easiest way to convert java.lang.Thread.getStackTrace() to string?

There are plenty of methods how to convert Throwable to string, but I need to get stack trace of particular thread object.

Apache Commons provides exception utilities to assist with this kind of issue. Among these utilities is a method which accepts a Throwable object and returns a String. You should be able to create a Throwable object on your thread, passing it to this function, and using the return as needed.

The method I am referring to can be found here: Apache Commons Exception Utilities - getStackTrace

You can do this

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for(StackTraceElement ste: Thread.getStackTrace())
    sb.append("\tat ").append(ste).append("\n");
String trace = sb.toString();
