Hi,
It would be nice to have a 'this'
keyword for static methods. For static methods 'this' refers
to the class in which the static method is defined.
In our code-base we have a lot of places where we
initialize a logger for a class as follows
public class MyApp {
static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyApp.class);
...
...
If we could refer to MyApp using the keyword 'this' then when copying this code to other classes there wouldn't be a need to remember to change the class passed to the getLogger method.
Thanks
Vimil
