public class Line

extends java.lang.Object

Languages with preprocessors, like C and C++, have the luxery of being able to embed macros like __LINE__ into the source and have that later be converted by the preprocessor in the line number of that line of source. This class tries to give java that same functionality. When Line.line() is called it returns the line number that the program is currently on.
