/**
* Aids in Troubleshooting Swing Application Exceptions or any exception where the
* caller's stack may not be the exception stack (such as producer-consumer mechanisms).
* <p>
* Swing exceptions usually occur on the Swing Event Dispatch Thread, and often occur
* when code puts events on the EDT. This code is often in a non-EDT thread such
* as a thread that is receiving data from a server. If the non-EDT threads puts a
* call on the EDT and that EDT call causes and exception, the stack trace of the
* exception is lost, and it often difficult or impossible to determine where the
* non-EDT call came from.
* <p>
* This Exception class is used to handle exceptions that occur when
* events are posted on the Swing EDT or occur on another thread from the Swing EDT.
* It includes a "swing" call stack to record from where the event occurred,
* and overrides so that the exception and the swing calling stack
* print nicely to logs.
* <p>
* The swing calling stack is different from the cause of the exception since
* it is gathered before the exception occurs in a different stack from the cause
* and used after the exception in a new thread occurs.
* @todo in SwingUtils, make an invokeLater method that saves the calling stack
* catches all exceptions from a subsequent call to SwingUtilities. invokeLater()
* and throws a Swing Exception so the calling stack is saves.
