Description

Probably everything should use withFoo rather than setFoo to keep it inline with the Scala API.

Should deprecate rather than remove old API to prevent breakage.

The issue names no files or tests. Locate the Java API's set* methods and compare them with the Scala API's withFoo naming; done means the Java methods follow that convention while the old methods remain available as deprecated APIs without breaking existing callers.
