I don't think there is a way. I had this elisp around
(defun jde-shorten-classname(classname)
"Given a classname convert it to a shorter one. IE IOException -> ioe."
(let((index 0)
(short-version "")
(case-fold-search nil))
(while (string-match "[A-Z]" classname index)
(setq short-version (concat short-version (match-string 0 classname)))
(setq index (match-end 0)))
(downcase short-version)))
