Everything in Java looks absolutely horrible.

Trying to do select/poll? There’s something like 4 different classes and I
don’t know how many methods involved.

Trying to do SSL connections with private CA certs? Takes a bunch of
different classes (key stores, key managers, trust managers, factories for
key managers and trust managers, and what not) and over a hundred lines of
code.

Dates/times? You have to contend with an API that has accumulated so much
legacy cruft, that you are left with an old class where every single
member is deprecated, yet the class itself is still needed in the newer-
style calls.
