I don't know why this is getting so much attention... the documentation makes it perfectly clear that it's just a "Convenient proxy factory bean superclass for proxy factory beans that create only singletons."

What's the best practice for conveniently generating proxy factory bean superclasses? From my research it seems an abstract factory factory would be the appropriate design pattern, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel

You want an abstract factory factory factory.

I got annoyed by some of the daft names in Java, so I went through and found some of the worst offending method names. The longest method names I could find are "supportsDataDefinitionAndDataManipulationTransactions" (for Java Development Kit) and "setApplyWebRequestInterceptorsToRenderPhaseOnly (for Spring).

(see http://www.fatvat.co.uk/2011/05/method-names-in-java-develop...) for more details.

If you don't like long method names, stay away from Cocoa.

  -willAnimateSecondHalfOfRotationFromInterfaceOrientation:duration:
  -gestureRecognizer:shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:
  -initWithBitmapDataPlanes:pixelsWide:pixelsHigh:bitsPerSample:samplesPerPixel:hasAlpha:isPlanar:colorSpaceName:bitmapFormat:bytesPerRow:bitsPerPixel:

Did anyone else think this name was a joke at first?

I don't see the problem. This class is an abstract factory so yes it is abstract!
