Stack traces from bridge methods are confusing:

$ /usr/java/jdk1.6.0/bin/javac -fullversion
javac full version "1.6.0-ea-b33"
$ /usr/java/jdk1.6.0/bin/javac Bridge.java
$ /usr/java/jdk1.6.0/bin/java Bridge
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error
        at Bridge.getName(Bridge.java:10)
        at Bridge.getName(Bridge.java:5)
        at Bridge.main(Bridge.java:7)
$ cat -n Bridge.java
     1 interface Foo {
     2 CharSequence getName();
     3 }
     4
     5 public class Bridge implements Foo {
     6 public static void main(String... args) {
     7 ((Foo)new Bridge()).getName();
     8 }
     9 public String getName() {
    10 throw new Error();
    11 }
    12 }
$

In this example, the confusing stack trace is:
        at Bridge.getName(Bridge.java:5)

Perhaps this would be less confusing if the position
of the method declaration is used (line 9 in this example).
