It seems that with 7u25 the result is "shifted" for one calling

"get off that wagon"?
Right, there is an additional frame that means that getClassClass is
out by one. This change was unintentional (meaning a bug) and Mandy
has a fix coming in 7u40 for this, the discussion has been on
jdk7u-dev rather than here:

The changeset will be pushed to jdk7u40-dev repo as soon as it's open
for business. The regression was unintentional and it was unforunate
that the test didn't catch it as it happened two frames have the same
caller class (my apology).

As regards getting people off
sun.reflect.Reflection.getCallerClass(int) then the proposal is
aggressive, you can read the details but it essentially means it will
be disabled by default in 7u40.
