Notes

Sometimes it can be useful to print the name of the current method to the console in case of an error or for debugging purpose ( poor man's debugging )
Here is a small piece of code that you can copy at the beginning of an method. Later on, when printing to the console, m will contain the name of the current method.

Class c = new Object(){}.getClass();
String m =  c.getName() + "." + c.getEnclosingMethod().getName();

System.Out.println(m)
