title: Java: Self for static method calls within the same class
body: <p>Is it possible to do something like <code>self::</code> in PHP to not need to specify the class-name tro call a static method within the same class. See how I do it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Foo
   public static void blaa() {...}
   public void foobar
   {
      Foo.blaa();
   }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I'd like to it like</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Foo
   public static void blaa() {...}
   public void foobar
   {
      _SOME_SORT_OF_SELF_.blaa();
   }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to not have to write down the classname over and over again...
  same would go for static attributes. Instead of using <code>Foo.MY_ATTR</code> maybe accessing it via <code>_SOME_SORT_OF_SELF_.MY_ATTR</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Possible?
  Thanks</p>
