I've got an autocompletion feature up and running, but I'm usually not dependent from it. However, that wasn't my point. I wasn't complaining about long class names. That's just a bonus. I was complaining about the misuse/overuse of design patterns throughout the Java Standard Library as well as Swing.
See, design patterns are a thing that's nice to have but some of them are more like cheap hacks that have made it into an influential book rather than mandatory patterns. I'd go as far as claiming that some of these patterns are merely a way of hiding what's fundamentally broken about OOP in a language where it's the only paradigm and where it is strongly enforced - like Java.
