Get class that extended this class's name.

Hey JGO, I’m trying to figure out how to get the class’s name that is extending my abstract StringPacket class.

I know how to get a class’s name:


String className = getClass().getName().replace(getClass().getPackage().getName()+".", "");

How would I inside my abstract class’s constructor obtain the class’s name that is extending the StringPacket class?

Here is my pseudo StringPacket class:


public class StringPacket {

	private String packetName;

	public StringPacket() {
		// How would I obtain the name of class extending this?
		packetName = ???;
	}
}

Thanks for any feedback/help JGO.
