Here you can find many implementations, the first by Bertram Felgenhauer follows:

class S{public static void main(String[]a){String s="class S{public static void main(String[]a){String s=;char c=34;System.out.println(s.substring(0,52)+c+s+c+s.substring(52));}}";char c=34;System.out.println(s.substring(0,52)+c+s+c+s.substring(52));}}

By the way, this is known as a quine, a program whose output is itself.
