Usage

Run the program. If the application you are trying to trace is a command line application, run the following command in your terminal:
```
  java -jar StackTraceVisualizer.jar
```
Otherwise, you can launch the .jar executable like any other program.
A diaglog box will appear, prompting you for the full path to your program’s .class file.

Make sure the path is a .class file. All .java files in the same parent directory as the specified .class file will be recompiled automatically.
A tracer screen will open, and the stack trace will be updated in real time. Execution may be significantly slower when using the tracer.
Methods can be expanded by clicking the expand icon to the left of the method name.
Clicking on a method name opens a popup which displays more information about the method.
The stack trace window will update in real time.

This program requires jdb to be installed on your system. jdb is included in jdk.
The program may occasionally prevent the compiled jar or specified class file from being modified, even after the program has exited. This can be solved by killing all Java, jdk, and jdb processes through the system task manager or command line.
