Constructor Detail

CoreException

public CoreException(IStatus status)

getStatus

The result must NOT be used to log a CoreException (e.g., using yourPlugin.getLog().log(status);), since that code pattern hides the original stacktrace. Instead, create a new Status with your plug-in ID and this CoreException, and log that new status.
