How to get the name of the currently executing method?

[Jeff Gaynor]

Is there a way to do this? I just want to be able to print out a _quick_
message for debugging.

Thanks,

--j

System.out.println("nameOfMethod");
Anything else is neither quick to write nor to execute.

new Throwable().printStackTrace()

There are even slicker ways if you just want the current method.
