Description

Does the Java semconv offer something like the Go semconv for semantic convention metrics?

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/blob/main/semconv/v1.37.0/httpconv/metric.go#L1372

This approach seems beneficial as it offers a metric already configured with the expected description, unit, and correct name.

Research direction

Compare the Java semantic-convention classes with the Go semconv/v1.37.0/httpconv/metric.go implementation linked in the issue. Identify whether Java already exposes metrics with the expected name, description, unit, and configuration; done means documenting the result or defining the required generated API.
