== Why is this an issue?

Creating an object for the sole purpose of calling `getClass` on it is a waste of memory and cycles.
Instead, simply use the class's `.class` property.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
MyObject myOb = new MyObject();  // Noncompliant
Class c = myOb.getClass();
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
Class c = MyObject.class;
----
