Hi everybody, 

I am missing nested exceptions in the logs printed out by jetty (ver 6.1.23 - actually I'm not missing exceptions at all, but... ;-)
Looking closer to the problem I found that for instant nested RuntimeExceptions are not logged. It seems to me that 
org.mortbay.log.Log::unwind() considers only nested exceptions that contain one of the following methods:

    private static final String[] __nestedEx =
        {"getTargetException","getTargetError","getException","getRootCause"};

However java.lang.RuntimeException only supports getCause() which is missing in this list. 
Is there a reason why getCause() is not considered?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Udo
