Sounds like a good idea to me. I would probably choose to not put "Log" in the method names, i.e. getMessageNoStack trace and getMessageShortStackTrace, since the methods don't specifically deal with logging and there is no requirement to use the results in a log mesage. But I don;t have a strong preference either way, so if there is a concensus I'm fine with that.
