$0 (Program Name) in Java? Discover main class?

Question

Is there a way to find the name of the program that is running in Java? The class of the main method would be good enough.

Answer 1

Try this :

Java classes have static instance of their own class (java.lang.Class type).

That means if we have a class named Main. Then we can get its class instance by Main.class

If you're interested in name only then,

String className = Main.class.getName();
