Well, in defence of Javaland, it is a consequence how easy it is for 
enterprise architects to try out their crazy ideas in Java.

Except for a few years at CERN, I always worked in enterprise land, so
I have seen FactoryFactoryAbstractThingy being done in:

- C based platform which used its own concept of pointers, requiring 
conversions between framework pointers and C pointers

- A Frankenstein framework done in CORBA with a healthy mix of C++ and 
Perl code

- A Perl framework for generating code for control of telecommunication 
networks with a thousands plugins, which affected the way the whole code
generation was done, requiring multiple passes

- A transformation engine done in XML/XSLT (yes really!) with a 
JavaScript API being called from a Java driver application

- A framework done on top of J2EE, as if J2EE wasn't enough

Better stop here. :)
