How to print all java exceptions on the terminal?

I've noticed that whenever an exception is thrown on the terminal, I often get an abbreviate failure trace such as this:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)
at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at sun.launcher.LauncherHelper.checkAndLoadMain(Unknown Source)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javafx.application.Application
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
... 13 more
Exception in thread "main"

What I want to know is how to print all of the trace, including those ... 13 more.

EDIT: This post has been identified as a possible duplicate of Print full call stack on printStackTrace()? . I did read the latter but didn't find an answer to my question, I only found information on why it happens.

You can pass the Throwable object (the Exception in your case) to a method like this:

static void printFullTrace(Throwable throwable){
    for(StackTraceElement element: throwable())
        System.out.println(element);
}

The truth is that you are already seeing the whole stack trace in those lines, because a part of it is repeated and so omitted for brevity. You can understand better the mechanism here.

The standard Windows console (cmd) is very short of features, you need to install a console on steroids like ones that are out there, so you'll be able to have a larger scrollback. Take a look into the alternatives listed here.

Personally I use cmder, that is not in the list, but you must test them all and peek which fit you better.

You can print the whole stack Traces by below method. Reading the Java Doc for printStackTrace will tell why is this designed this way.

void printAllTraces(Throwable throwable) {
       StackTraceElement[] stackTraces = throwable.getStackTrace();
       for (StackTraceElement stackTrace: stackTraces) {
          System.out.println(stackTrace); 
       }
}

StackTraceElement[] stackTraces = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();
for (StackTraceElement element : stackTraces) {
    System.out.println(element);
}
