private final String emptyText = new String("");Anyhow, it probably makes sense to change the "emptyText" string from ""to " " (that is, use a space instead of nothing). This bugzilla entry might be interesting to you: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45931
Changing emptyText from "" to " " would break the workaround. It would lead to 2 spaces in the html. Please don't do it.
