Description

What would be a pretty useful feature is a way to input a stacktrace, and then make BCV automatically load the class where the exception happens, open the bytecode disassembler, go to the line and highlight where the exception took place. I often need to do this manually, and it would be great if it was automated.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing class-loading, bytecode-disassembler navigation, and exception-handling entry points; done means a stacktrace can be entered and BCV opens the relevant class, navigates to the indicated line, and highlights the exception location.
