Consider the following Java class:
public class Foo
{
public static void doStuff()
{
// boring stuff here
}
}
Is it possible to access either the class literal Foo.class, or just the class name "Foo" from within a static method such as doStuff()? In a non-static method I would just call this.getClass(), but there is no this to use in a static method.
