这种方法的错误之处在于:

class Example {
    FileOutputStream fileOutputStream;

    public Example() {
        //System.out.println("Example.Example()");

        debug("Example.Example()",false); // toggle

        try {
            fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream("debug.txt");
        } catch (Exception exception) {
             debug(exception + Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
        }
    }

    private boolean was911AnInsideJob() {
        System.out.println("Example.was911AnInsideJob()");
        return true;
    }

    public boolean shouldGWBushBeImpeached(){
        System.out.println("Example.shouldGWBushBeImpeached()");
        return true;
    }

    public void setPunishment(int yearsInJail){
        debug("Server.setPunishment(int yearsInJail=" + yearsInJail + ")",true);
    }
}

在人们疯狂地使用System.out.println(…)之前，你总是可以，也应该，创建一些方法，这样输出就可以被重定向，例如:

    private void debug (Object object) {
        debug(object,true);
    }

    private void dedub(Object object, boolean debug) {
        if (debug) {
            System.out.println(object);

            // you can also write to a file but make sure the output stream
            // ISN'T opened every time debug(Object object) is called

            fileOutputStream.write(object.toString().getBytes());
        }
    }

我发现最快的方法是:

import java.lang.reflect.Method;

public class TraceHelper {
    // save it static to have it available on every call
    private static Method m;

    static {
        try {
            m = Throwable.class.getDeclaredMethod("getStackTraceElement",
                    int.class);
            m.setAccessible(true);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static String getMethodName(final int depth) {
        try {
            StackTraceElement element = (StackTraceElement) m.invoke(
                    new Throwable(), depth + 1);
            return element.getMethodName();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }
}

它直接访问本机方法getStackTraceElement(int depth)。并将可访问的方法存储在静态变量中。

另一种方法是创建(但不是抛出)一个Exception，并使用该对象从中获取堆栈跟踪数据，因为封闭方法通常位于索引0——只要JVM存储该信息，就像上面其他人提到的那样。然而，这并不是最便宜的方法。

从Throwable.getStackTrace()(这至少从Java 5开始是一样的):

数组的第0个元素(假设数组的长度非零)表示堆栈的顶部，这是序列中的最后一个方法调用。通常，这是这个throwable被创建和抛出的点。

下面的代码片段假设该类是非静态的(因为getClass())，但这只是题外话。

System.out.printf("Class %s.%s\n", getClass().getName(), new Exception("is not thrown").getStackTrace()[0].getMethodName());

这是对virgo47的答案(如上)的扩展。

它提供了一些静态方法来获取当前和调用类/方法名。

public static String getCurrentMethodName() {

这可以使用StackWalker自Java 9。

public static String getCurrentMethodName() {
    return StackWalker.getInstance()
                      .walk(s -> s.skip(1).findFirst())
                      .get()
                      .getMethodName();
}

public static String getCallerMethodName() {
    return StackWalker.getInstance()
                      .walk(s -> s.skip(2).findFirst())
                      .get()
                      .getMethodName();
}

StackWalker被设计成懒惰的，所以它可能比Thread更有效。getStackTrace，它为整个调用堆栈急切地创建一个数组。更多信息请参见JEP。
