JPAAnnotationMetadata uses java 6 java.lang.String.isEmpty() method. search-1.1.0.jar is incompatible with java 5

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The problem is reproducible running an application that uses generic-dao with a 
java 5 jvm.

Tip:
use "java.lang.String.length()==0" instead

Error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.String.isEmpty()Z

• Changed state: Accepted
• Added labels: Milestone-Release1.2.0

This is "fixed" in version 1.2.0 simply because this version requires Java 6 
which is required by Hibernate 4.

Are you joking ??? This is not a fix and, as long as this bug remain, version 
1.1.0 still require java 6.

I would have expected a 1.1.1 version with the real fix.
