To really bork up the Java, you need a pattern fanatic. Once you stand working with Handler Adapter Handlers you know you should have taken the other colour pill.
Yes, i remember working for a company (java devs) where at some point we ended up having wrappers around wrappers around wrappers delegating stuff around, factories of factories ... It made your head spin.
I mean this dead seriously: People complain about the abstractions like "Monad" in Haskell, but I'm yet to see anything as abstract and difficult to reason about as a decorator around a facade delegating to an implementation of a factory factory of something probably producing a concrete instance of some other pattern monstrosity.
Definitely, but a point should be made that design patterns themselves are not a bad thing, quite the contrary, actually. It's overuse of design patterns that should be a crime. I came across some pretty difficult to understand abstractions, but fortunately nothing like the monstrosity that you described.
When you said 'actual Java class name' I thought for a moment that those were actually classes in one of Java's libraries. I googled the names, though, and fortunately, they're not...
