+1 from me – Java 5 End of Life was October 2009 so it hasn’t been officially 
support by sun/oracle for over 2 years now!
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html

In fact looking at that Java 6 has now been released for 5 years and is due in 
6 months time to be EOL’d itself!

String.isEmpty()


Secretly I am hoping we can reopen the "switch to JDK 6 for drools 6" 
discussion :)
It's been almost a year since we had a "switch to JDK 6" discussion.

+1 on moving to JDK 6 (if possible). We can easily avoid using the 
String.isEmpty method, but there are other things, like, from my point of view, 
the possibility to invoke the javac compiler directly from the code, that could 
be very handy in a near future.
