Description

The following script demonstrates the problem. The ".class" syntax and calls to getClass() on any class return the same result: java.lang.Class.

Script:
-------

System.out.println java.lang.String.class
System.out.println java.lang.String.getClass()
System.out.println java.util.LinkedList.class
System.out.println java.util.LinkedList.getClass()
System.out.println java.sql.Timestamp.class
System.out.println java.sql.Timestamp.getClass()

Output:
-------

class java.lang.Class
class java.lang.Class
class java.lang.Class
class java.lang.Class
class java.lang.Class
class java.lang.Class
