If you need to read the stack in a manner that is backwards compatible with JDK 8 or earlier, there's also the following mechanism for getting the call stack, by creating a SecurityManager:
https://github.com/classgraph/classgraph/blob/master/src/main/java/io/github/classgraph/utils/CallStackReader.java However, is there a reason to believe the above mechanism might stop working in the future? Under what conditions might SecurityManager not allow RuntimePermission("createSecurityManager") , and how common is this likely to be? Will there be situations where StackWalker will succeed in reading the call stack but SecurityManager will fail, or vice versa?
