---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
public class HostNameTest {

public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException {
String version = System.getProperty("java.version");
try {
listHostName();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("java version:" + version);
System.out.println( " getHostName(): " + InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName());
System.out.println( " www.google.com.getHostName(): " + InetAddress.getByName("www.google.com").getHostName());
}

private static void listHostName() throws Exception {
// Get runtime
        java.lang.Runtime rt = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
        // Start a new process: UNIX command
        java.lang.Process p = rt.exec("hostname");
        // You can or maybe should wait for the process to complete
        p.waitFor();
        // Get process' output: its InputStream
        java.io.InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
        java.io.BufferedReader reader = new java.io.BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
        // And print each line
        String s = null;
        while ((s = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println("hostname:" + s);
        }
        is.close();
        }
}

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Add suffix to hostname

sudo scutil --set HostName macbook2.local

hostname:macbook2.local
java version:1.7.0_60
 getHostName(): macbook2.local
 www.google.com.getHostName(): www.google.com
