[Juglist] static reference to Class

[Richard O. Hammer]

I have a class in which all the members are static.  Within these 
static members I want to get a handle to the Class.  What is the best 
way to do that?

Now, I know I could construct an instance of the class, and then say 
getClass() on that instance, but that seems unnecessarily roundabout. 
 And I suppose I could say Class.forName("MyClassName") but that is a 
little short of elegant, and if later I change MyClassName using 
Eclipse's neat renaming power, Eclipse won't change the string 
parameter "MyClassName" and I will be plagued with more work to do.

So I want the neat and elegant way to learn the name of the containing 
class from within a static method.  It there such?

Thank you,
Rich
