A class from which a method is being called

[Michael Preminger]

I am interested in finding the class (hereunder: the calling class) from
which a method (hereunder: calling method) is calling the method I am
writing (herunder: the present method).

The present method uses JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() to write a
message, but I wish to title this messageDialog with the name of the
calling class.

I have found a sketch to a somewhat implementation-sensitive way of
doing it, in the following message:

I wonder: This sketch is from 1999. Has Sun, since that time come with a
more generic way to accomplish this?

thanks !!

Partly. You could still use an exception, but if you have JDK 1.4 or later,
you can use the getStrackTrace() method of class Throwable to have a higher
level view on the trace elements.
