Description

Currently jelly, when it encounters an error has a tendency to output three pages of java stack-traces... not necessarily very elegant and especially not illuminating for non java developers.

There should be a switch (e.g. a sys-property) which should be off by default and with which, only when set to true, the stacktraces are output.

Making minor as there's little jelly developers who are not java developers... still...

Actually a further wish would be to provide a JELLY STACKTRACE... even format this in the form that most compilers output it
(<pathToFile>:<lineNumber>:<colNumber>:message)
thus making the output clickable in, say, Emacs or jEdit...
