But I think it is good code.

 I think it is bloody long-winded code.

It is fine with me.
I do not even like the Java 7+ version:
private final Map<Integer, ArrowLabel> satLabels = new HashMap<>();

In C++ I could write things like
      typedef std::map<std::string /*section*/, SectionParams>
         SectionTable;
     typedef std::pair<std::string, SectionParams>
         SectionTablePair;
     typedef SectionTable::const_iterator
         SectionTableLister;

Yes.
But that just give the reader of the code a few more names
to remember what is.
