    Yes, but it is very expensive. Create new Throwable and check the stack trace. It is not recommended to use this except for debugging.

  3. Use at your own risk: sun.reflect.Reflection[ Go to top ]

    In J2SE 1.4:

    Undocumented class: sun.reflect.Reflection

    Method: getCallerClass

    sun.reflect.Reflection is NOT a standard API. Use at your own risk.
