Every time you feel bad about your long names, try looking at this class for more than 5 seconds. I give you:

• InternalFrameInternalFrameTitlePaneInternalFrameTitlePaneMaximizeButtonWindowNotFocusedState

And its big sister:

• HasThisTypePatternTriedToSneakInSomeGenericOrParameterizedTypePatternMatchingStuffAnywhereVisitor

Don't feel bad about it, names are supposed to be self explanatory, so as long as your class name is shorter than the code it contains, I think we are all good.
