In Java is there a static version of 'this' -

i know quite minor, @ top of every class end copying , pasting , changing following line of code.

private static final string tag = myclass.class.getname(); 

what not have modify myclass bit every time copy.

i.e. write this.

private static final string tag = this.class.getname(); 

but there no @ point. know minor, learn answers, , indeed learnt stuff searching see if there answer already.

you can define eclipse template, called tag, example:

private static final string tag = ${enclosing_type}.class.getname(); 

then, type tag followed ctrl+space , insert statement.

i use method declare loggers in classes.

alternatively, query stack trace of current thread:

private static final string tag = thread.currentthread().getstacktrace()[1].getclassname();
