[logback-user] Getting class packaging information with IThrowableRenderer

[ceki]

Hi Thilo,

Here is a way how to find the information with what you already know. 
You know that %xEx prints packaging data. If you look in PatternLayout 
[1], you'll see that on line 113, the string "xEx" is mapped to 
ExtendedThrowableProxyConverter [2]. This class derives from 
ThrowableProxyConverter and overrides the extraData() method. In line 
25, you'll see that it invokes the subjoinPackagingData() method in 
ThrowableProxyUtil to fill in packaging data. See [3] for the 
implementation of this method.

Let us know if this puts you on the right track.
