That's not to say that I haven't seen LongArduousType-style classes (XMLBuilderFactory comes to mind as a recent WTF?) elsewhere. It happens.
It seems to be a fairly strong trend in .NET. I don't think it is a good thing, and distracts from the readability of the code. I think if method names get long, then the classes aren't organized right. If the class names get to long, then the modules aren't organized right. Of course, several prominent OO languages (C#, C++ at least) don't have modules, just namespaces. Dave -- KPLUG-LPSG@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
