Class getSimpleName    Returns the simple name of the underlying class as given in the source code  Returns an empty string if the underlying class is anonymous  The simple name of an array is the simple name of the component type with  quot    quot  appended  In particular the simple name of an array whose component type is anonymous is  quot    quot    It is actually stripping the package information from the name  but this is hidden from you
