When people call Java a noisy language, they are talking about the following

gistfile1.java

    private boolean parameterListsConflict(Map<String, String> map1,
            Map<String, String> map2) {
        if (map1.equals(map2)) {
            return true;
        }
        if (map1.size() > map2.size()) {
            return largerMapContainsAllEntriesInSmallerMap(map1, map2);
        } else {
            return largerMapContainsAllEntriesInSmallerMap(map2, map1);
        }
    }

    private boolean largerMapContainsAllEntriesInSmallerMap(
            Map<String, String> larger, Map<String, String> smaller) {
        Set<Entry<String, String>> largerEntrySet = larger.entrySet();
        for (Entry<String, String> entry : smaller.entrySet()) {
            if (!largerEntrySet.contains(entry)) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

    private boolean groupsAndCategoriesMatch(Feature f1, Feature f2) {
        return f1.getGroup().getKey().equals(f2.getGroup().getKey())
                && f1.getCategory().getKey().equals(f2.getCategory().getKey());
    }
