How to see nested exceptions trace, hidden by Spring? - eclipse

Question

When I am debugging Spring application in Eclipse, I am getting long exception chains. For example, I have
Error creating bean with name '...' defined in file [...Tester.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested PropertyAccessExceptions (1) are:
PropertyAccessException 1: org.springframework.beans.MethodInvocationException: Property '...' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ...
And so on. Multiple stacks with exceptions inside Spring, which is uninteresting. It should be my exceptions somewhere below, but Spring does not show them.
And I can't click into exception and navigate to problem place as usual.
How to say Spring to output all exceptions?
UPDATE
Below is the full output. One can see that the place where IllegalArgumentException occurred was probably truncated.
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'mybean' defined in file [D:\mypath\myconfig.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested PropertyAccessExceptions (1) are:
PropertyAccessException 1: org.springframework.beans.MethodInvocationException: Property 'myproperty' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: my exception message

Because there are potentially multiple exceptions, you need to catch the PropertyBatchUpdateException and call getPropertyAccessExceptions() to examine the stack trace of the particular exception.
Edit
Actually I'm not quite sure what's going on here
Here is PropertyBatchUpdateException's printStackTrace method:
public void printStackTrace(PrintWriter pw) {
synchronized (pw) {
pw.println(getClass().getName() + "; nested PropertyAccessException details (" +
getExceptionCount() + ") are:");
for (int i = 0; i < this.propertyAccessExceptions.length; i++) {
pw.println("PropertyAccessException " + (i + 1) + ":");
this.propertyAccessExceptions[i].printStackTrace(pw);
}
}
}
It should be including the nested stack traces. Are you using the latest version of Spring?
Edit:
The best I can suggest is to run in debug mode, then put a breakpoint at AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1361 and see what's going on.
