Class.getSimpleName NPE with GIN, GWT 2.5

Question

I read somewhere that GWT 2.5 now allows Class.getSimpleName.

I am using GWT 2.5, GXT 3.x.

This gave me GIN injector NPE:

GWT.log(this.getClass().getSimpleName() + commentString);

Is getting the error due to

• The gin.jar version I am using may not be up-to-par with GWT 2.5
• GIN does not support all features of GWT 2.5;
• I have read wrongly, GWT does not yet support Class.getSimpleName.
• Some other reason
  ??
