It'd be nice if it was possible to use a ModuleException to get a list of
chained exceptions and display them to the user.

I don't know how this would work, but using JDK 1.4, it might look something
like that below.  This doesn't compile, but hopefully you get the idea - or
maybe I can already do it with this?

public class GeneralException extends ModuleException {
    //~ Constructors ===========================================================

    /**
     * Construct a new instance of this exception
     */
    public GeneralException() {
        super("errors.general");
    }

    /**
     * Constructor for this exception that allows you to pass in an exception
     * with possible causes.
     *
     * @param e
     */
    public GeneralException(Exception e) {
        super("errors.detail", getChainedExceptions(e));
    }
    
    protected String getChainedExceptions(Exception e) {
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

        if (e.getCause() == null) {
            sb.append(e.getMessage());
        } else {
            while (e.getCause() != null) {
                sb.append(e.getMessage());
                sb.append("\n");
                e = (Exception) e.getCause();
            }
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
}
