  Java a Bit on the Wordy Side

  I was helping a friend of mine with a Java problem yesterday and couldn't help but notice this totally normal (for Java) file in his project:

  import java.io.Serializable;
  
  public class Contact implements Serializable
  {
     private String firstName;
     private String lastName;
     private String email;
     private String phone;
  
     public Contact()
     {
         this("", "", "", ""); // call four-argument constructor
     } // end no-argument Contact constructor
  
     // initialize a record
     public Contact(String first, String last, String eml, String phn)
     {
         setFirstName(first);
         setLastName(last);
         setEmail(eml);
         setPhone(phn);
     } // end four-argument Contact constructor
  
     // set first name
     public void setFirstName(String first)
     {
        firstName = first;
     } // end method setFirstName
  
     // get first name
     public String getFirstName()
     {
        return firstName;
     } // end method getFirstName
  
     // set last name
     public void setLastName(String last)
     {
        lastName = last;
     } // end method setLastName
  
     // get last name
     public String getLastName()
     {
        return lastName;
     } // end method getLastName
  
     // set email address
     public void setEmail(String eml)
     {
        email = eml;
     } // end method setEmail
  
     // get email address
     public String getEmail()
     {
        return email;
     } // end method getEmail
  
     // set phone number
     public void setPhone(String phn)
     {
        phone = phn;
     } // end method setPhone
  
     // get phone
     public String getPhone()
     {
        return phone;
     } // end method getPhone
  } // end class Contacts
