Re: WhoAmI

tnx a lot for the insight!
You solved me a refactoring problem in a project with 3000 classes
Only that I'm using the JDK 1.3.2, so I have a bit of more work than this.

package unknown;

import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

class WhoAmI{
        private static String className;
        static{
                StringWriter stackTrace = new StringWriter();
                new Exception().printStackTrace( new PrintWriter( stackTrace));
                className = stackTrace.toString();
                className = className.substring( className.indexOf("at ") + "at ".length());
                className = className.substring( 0, className.indexOf(".<clinit>"));
        }
}
