Getting the name of the currently executing method

Question

Is there a way to get the name of the currently executing method in Java?

Answer 1

Util.java:

public static String getCurrentClassAndMethodNames() {
    final StackTraceElement e = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2];
    final String s = e.getClassName();
    return s.substring(s.lastIndexOf('.') + 1, s.length()) + "." + e.getMethodName();
}

SomeClass.java:

public class SomeClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(Util.getCurrentClassAndMethodNames()); // output: SomeClass.main
    }
}
