Thanks for the feedback. I am in the process of clarifying that the javadoc and I see the confusion there. This is the CallerFromMain.java test (some comments need to be cleaned up) but it shows what the getCallerClass is intended to return. 1) call from main - throw UOE // StackWalker::getCallerClass // CallerFromMain::main // no caller 2) return Runnable anonymous class // StackWalker::getCallerClass // Runnable::run // Thread::run 3) return MyRunnable // StackWalker::getCallerClass // MyRunnable::run // Thread::run 4) return MyThread::run // StackWalker::getCallerClass // Runnable::run // MyThread::run 5) return CallerFromMain // StackWalker::getCallerClass // CallerFromMain::doit // Thread::run
