org.json.simple.parser.ParseException should override get[Localized]Message

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. capture a org.json.simple.parser.ParseException
2. use the 'getMessage' or 'getLocalizedMessage' API
3. returns NULL (when there is a message returned by toString)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should be the same as the 'toString()' method; or at least comparable useful.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1

Please provide any additional information below.
Right now the ParseException's 'toString' method is overridden. Which
leaves the get[Localized]Message APIs doing nothing. The override should
be in the get[Localized]Message and the inherited toString will work
fine. This will cover all three methods...

Hi,

Indeed, this bug is very annoying because standard error-handling code 
gets confused due to:

1. It breaks the typical exception.toString() implementation not to report its 
name first
(this is the most disturbing).

2. The exception does not have an exception-message at all.

FIX
---
Please, 
a) move the code from ParseException.toString() to ParseException.getMessage(),
and 
b) stop overridding toString() method.
