Does anyone know how to get the name of the current class in a static method?
Here's three possibilities, none of which are doing it for me.
String thisClassName;
// blah blah blah
thisClassName = this.getClass().getName(); // (a)
thisClassName = "whateverClassName"; // (b)
thisClassName = whateverClassName.class.getName(); // (c)
In a non-static method, I'd do something like (a) above, but in a static method there's no
this to call a method on.
Of course, I know when I'm writing the code what the class name is, so I can use (b).
But stupid people (e.g. me) copy bits of code from one class to another and forget to change the class name string.
Option (c) is as bad as (b) because I still have to hard-code the class name in.
Any ideas?
