Spring is not Java. It's also one of the most complex projects out there.

> Or anything like it

Spring isn’t the language or standard libraries.

Ok, it's possible that my bilingual ahh is misunderstanding the comment. Maybe we can try to come to an understanding?

I read that comment as "Show me where [long classnames] are in the language, standard library or ."

Spring is one of the biggest java libraries and quite widely used. I think it fits rather nicely, even if the example itself is fairly old.

Yeah I just think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the ecosystem is. Spring is used less than you think.

It's clearly still very popular.

I meant anything like "IStatusChangeEntityCreationManagerFactory"

Fair, the standard library is not quite so awful. There are still some pretty long names in it though.

This is probably the most enterprisey sounding, but not the longest class I could find: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/naming/spi/I...

lol it’s so long it overflows the window and breaks the css on my phone.
