Hi

I've got a few java programs that create static html 
stream files.  I need a way to identify what java 
program created the files if I find  something 
in the html file that needs attention later on. I would 
like a way to generically insert the class name  
in a comment line in the html file.  

Start of source exert -->

   PrintWriter b = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new 
FileWriter(fileName)));
   b.write("<!-- This file created by java class " +
           this.getClass().getName() +
           " -->\n" +
           "<HTML>\n" +
           "<HEAD>\n");

<-- end source

this.getClass().getName() gives me a compile error.  What can 
I use to get the name of my class? 


Thanx, PLA
