Finding the right version of the source code is definitely a challenge. However, it's a solvable one. What you're suggesting is actually what ExceptError does. It indexes all versions of each library, and uses context from the entire stack-trace, including line-numbers, method-names, etc, to find the exact match.

Agree that IDE is the best way, especially when it comes to Java, but it's not always possible. For example you may be debugging distributed systems in production.
