The method isEmpty() is undefined for the type String in class PackageInfo

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Switch to a Standard JVM
2. Try invoke the compilation
3. The compiler complains with following message:
/src/com/google/doclava/PackageInfo.java:[37,16] cannot find symbol
symbol  : method isEmpty()
location: class java.lang.String

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Use a standard way to perform the check, i.e. String#length() == 0

The current javadoc doesn't report the isEmpty() method:

Doclava as written assumes a JDK version 6 (tested against Sun and OpenJDK). 
We'd have to do a more thorough check to see what other JDK6 features we use-- 
I think the override tags would be another issue.

switched to JDK6 and it works.

indeed, the @Override tag is another issue, I had to comment them to build 
doclava on my machine.

Switching to Java6, that's a requirement, the issue is resolved
