Re: [logback-dev] Replacing CallerData class

Extending StackTraceElement won't work because STE is a final class.

Good point.

Why don't you simply use StackTraceElementProxy instead of STE? That way, it could - optionally - also contain ClassPackagingData.

As it stands, CallerData is almost identical to the StackTraceElement class. I don't expect CallerData to ever contain ClassPackagingData because collecting class packaging data is an extremely expensive operation, barely tolerable for exceptions but certainly not for every log statement. I would be quite surprised if we ever wanted to replace CallerData/STE with STEProxy.
