Please review CSR : JDK-8200437 String#isBlank

[Andrej Golovnin]

Hi Jim,

please add also the #isNotBlank() method. I know the one can write
!str.isBlank(), but str.isNotBlank() is better from the readability
standpoint of view.

Also I think the new methods:

#isBlank()
#isNotBlank() // if you add it.
#lines()

and the old one

String#isEmpty()

should be defined on the CharSequence interface with default
implementations and not on the String class. The sub-classes of
CharSequence shall then provide optimised implementations. This would
allow us to have this methods on StringBuilder and CharBuffer too.

Best regards,
Andrej Golovnin
