Suggestion: Add the method isEmpty in the classes StringBuilder and StringBuffer (original) (raw)

It should be isEmpty() -- empty() is usually for returning empty versions of the class. isEmpty is also consistent with String.

Do you want isEmpty() for bean access, or empty() like Collections? Since there isn't a getLength() but just length() (and size() for collections), I think the latter would be preferred.
