String myClassName = MyClass.getName();
String myClassFileName = myClassName.replace('.', '/') + ".class";
URL whereAmI = MyClass.class.getResource(myClassFileName);

Fix any syntax errors.  I've used this general approach before, but I 
haven't actually compiled or tested the exact code shown above.

If the class is in a JAR file, this will be a JAR URL.  See the 
documentation on java.net.JarURLConnection for more details.  If the 
class file comes from somewhere else (a directory with class files, a 
network URL, etc.) then you would need to handle that differently.
