First thing, your naming convention looks a little wonky. Java
usually uses CamelCase for class and method names.
Hmm. Thanks David, I hadn't heard the term CamelCase before. Is
that because camels are unrideable and CamelCase is unreadable?

This is probably sending this discussion waaay off topic, but
whatever.
Right.
Whether you like it or not, infix caps, or camel case, are part of
the Official Code Conventions of the Java Programming Language,
seen at http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/
CodeConventions.doc8.html#367 . You may personally like underscore
method names more than camel case. I personally do as well, but...
Every piece of code you write with non-standard naming conventions
results in anyone who "follows the rules" with respect to Java
programming to have to mentally switch contexts with regard to
method calls, class declarations, etc... Often within the same line
of code. You can't get away from camel case even if you tried. WO,
WOnder, and the java apis all use it.
In the end, camel case isn't that bad, and it makes you a good
citizen. Swallow your pride and getOverIt.
It's the other way around actually. CamelCase is spurned by
typographers for good reason. I guess Lemmings must be really good
citizens. I'd rather think different, nothing to do with swallowing
pride. Pride is arrogantly sticking with something that is wrong.
