More details on "Inernal error"
-------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3420
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3420
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Wicket UI
    Affects Versions: 2.0-RC1
            Reporter: Mike Pumphrey
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.0-RC2


Be careful what you wish for.  In GS 1.x I always wished that the user didn't 
see the explosion of Java errors in the browser when something went wrong.  
However, for many errors in GS 2, when something goes bad, all the user sees is 
an orange "Internal Error".  Without any description of what actually happened.

I would like to suggest some sort of a middle ground:

"Click here to see more details about this error."  This would either expand to 
show the entire Java stack trace, or pop it up somehow.

Also, since I find that, for a non dev like myself, the topmost line in a Java 
stack trace is the only one that's remotely helpful (except for, ahem, NPEs), 
perhaps only the first line of the stack trace could be displayed by default?
