I don't think the number of patterns has anything to do with Java (if it's not generalisable beyond Java I have to question if it's really a pattern). I think it has more to do with some people's proclivity to formalise the most trivial of things.

If you are going to go through all the patterns, you should double check that they really are patterns and also try and gauge how useful they really are.
