You unfortunately do need to know the line number, if you do get an exception
and try to see where it occurs.
Another less frequent problem is that you actually get the exception as an
object and print out that exception; in that case you would just see
"java.lang.NullPointerException", and nothing else?
Otherwise, based on your code, you should see a stack trace, with or without
line numbers. But you would at least see the method call stack, which would
help in figuring out where problem occured.
However, if you do catch an exception, and stack trace doesn't have line
numbers (it seems that some JVMs do not have line number info available when
running JIT'ed code) there are basically two ways to figure out exact
location:
(1) Try to make JVM get the line number info (either running in interpreted
mode; I think there was option, something like '-Djava.compiler= ' to
disable JIT?)
(2) Run code in a debugger. One nice free debugger (if you are not using an
IDE that has one is JSwat:

Hope this helps,
