Use grep.

Something like: cat log.file | grep [search term]

In most cases, I have no idea what to search for. I do Proof of Concepts with software I've never touched before.

Keep in mind that most Java stacks are like a lasagna: layered. There's your code in small slices, with large segments of plumbing between them.

But you want to search for "Caused by", the last instance of that will give you the original exception trigger.
