You might consider using clj-stacktrace for parsing, filtering, and or formatting Clojure stacktraces:
http://github.com/mmcgrana/clj-stacktrace For example, if you want to differentiate between Java, core Clojure, and user Clojure stack trace frames in a terminal session, you could try: (use 'clj-stacktrace.repl) (bad) (pst+) Where pst+ stands for "print stack trace plus" and prints a horizontally-aligned, cleanup-up, and color-coded stack trace to the console: http://img.skitch.com/20090721-efy2e4wgsrhxs2cxsbnu4c4ftx.png If you want to implement custom stacktrace-cleaning functionality (e.g. for VimClojure), check out clj-stacktrace.core/parse-exception. This will give you a nice Clojure data structure containing cleaned-up exception information. For example, it will parse out file and line numbers, identify which lines correspond to Java and which to Clojure source files, and will give you clean strings for the namespace and var name for each clojure frame.
