Eclipse JDT has a \"Java Stack Trace Console\" — you paste any Java stack trace into it (from a log file, CI, a bug report, etc.) and each frame becomes a clickable link that jumps to the source line. It works without a running debug session.\n\nVS Code doesn't have this today. The closest existing request, #506, only covers stack traces printed live in the Debug Console during an active session — it doesn't help when you just have a trace from somewhere else and want to navigate it.\n\nThe main challenge is resolving a class name to the right source file (multiple projects with same-named classes, inner classes, lambdas, etc.). Eclipse already solves this in [JavaStackTraceHyperlink.java](https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.debug/blob/master/org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui/ui/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/debug/ui/console/JavaStackTraceHyperlink.java)\n\nRelated to https://github.com/eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls/issues/3834","author":{"url":"https://github.com/SougandhS","@type":"Person","name":"SougandhS"},"datePublished":"2026-07-16T04:34:54Z","url":"https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-debug/issues/1654"}
