In many cases, the community starts with something that looks like a languages standard library. And Java's is very verbose, so it makes sense that the community would have verbose method names as well. However, while I can see it taking some getting used to if one comes from a different background, I personally find Java to be nicely self-documenting when using the conventions on display in the standard libraries. Lines are long and sometimes a statement spans multiple, but in many Java libs/apps things do exactly what they're named.
