I guess one could also use Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace():

But how's the current code line useful in such a log?  If you see 
the exact message you probably already know (or could easily find) 
where in the source it is produced.  If the same message is logged 
from different locations, probably the message should be revised to 
be more specific as appropriate?

I also don't think the source line (the last stack frame) alone is 
any useful without the full stack trace to see where the call is 
originating:
