Is it possible to get the package/class/method/function name as string for logging?

You can do something like (new Exception).getStackTrace()(1), which
gets you one of these:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/StackTraceElement.html

for the method that called you.

Throwing an exception for this is overkill. Since Java 1.5 you can write
Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[1]

Sure, but that's implemented as return (new Exception()).getStackTrace().

Note that nobody was throwing an exception.
