A comment on Java style

A spiffy Java idiom for getting class names is:
Object.class.getName()
Although the main reason for that is to be immune to package name
changes (which would rarely apply to Object), I still prefer to never
embed class names as literal strings. Also supports refactoring tools
which may change class names.
Works if a static is needed too:
final static String CLASSNAME = MyClass.class.getName();
