Description

org.apache.xerces.parsers.StandardParserConfiguration.parse (both methods) has
the code

catch (Exception ex)

{ if (PRINT_EXCEPTION_STACK_TRACE) ex.printStackTrace(); throw new XNIException(ex); }

This is annoying and inconvenient. If my code has a bug and
accordingly throws a RuntimeException, instead of getting a useful
stack trace showing what the exception was and where it occurred, I
get a useless stack trace saying an XNIException occurred in
StandardParserConfiguration. I would suggest that RuntimeExceptions
not be wrapped, i.e.

catch (RuntimeException ex)

{ if (PRINT_EXCEPTION_STACK_TRACE) ex.printStackTrace(); throw ex; }
