[JENKINS-28901] Trigger Exceptions are missing in JUnit Report

In case a class under test throws an Exception where a trigger is included, the trigger is not shown in the test result error page.

A Junit Test:

public class StacktraceTest {

@​Test

public void testSameTriggerClass()

{
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Root", new IllegalArgumentException("Expected Trigger"));
}

}

results in

Error Message

Root

Stacktrace

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Root

at .....StacktraceTest.testSameTriggerClass(StacktraceTest.java:12)

But should show

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Root

at .....

.....

org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:192)

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Expected Trigger

... 24 more

like the Eclipse JUnit Runner.
