Again providing two very simple methods here for my ListUtils class. Nothing fancy. Most ListUtils you find will have an isEmpty(). I’ve added the notEmtpy() for readability. Yes I could do this:

if(!ListUtils.isEmpty(myList)) {
   ....
}

However I find this far more readable:

if(ListUtils.notEmpty(myList)) {
   ...
}

So here for the sake of showing what all I have added are the two methods:

/**
     * Returns boolean indicating if the List is empty
     * @param list List to check
     * @param <E> List type
     * @return boolean indicating if LIst is empty
     */
    public static <E> boolean isEmpty(List<E> list) {
        if (list != null) {
            if (list.size() > 0) {
                return false;
            }
        }

        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Returns boolean indicating if the List is not empty
     * @param list List to check
     * @param <E> List type
     * @return boolean indicating if List is not empty
     */
    public static <E> boolean notEmpty(List<E> list) {
        return !ListUtils.isEmpty(list);
    }

Nothing fancy and just straight and simple code. For the full class look at this GIST.
