Hi,

There are some isEmpty() check added into get/remove methods since 8011200 to return directly if HashMap is empty. However isEmpty is a non-final public method which can be overridden by subclass. If the subclass defines isEmpty differently from HashMap, it would cause problem while getting or removing elements. yes, it's a bug. Could you report it ? Rémi I've created a bug to track this:

8019381: HashMap.isEmpty is non-final, potential issues for get/remove
