---------------------------------------

OK, thanks Jacques.

ObjectType.isEmpty should remain for minilang, querying and other framework code that needs it. So minilang should continue to work without any change.

It's just UtilValidate.isEmpty(Object) and UtilValidate.isNotEmpty(Object) that are going away, so *service* code in Java and Groovy will get better checking.

> Hence we need to remove the UtilValidate.isEmpty(Object) method and provide methods that accept explicit types.  
> Scripting languages should use a facade class that provides methods for working with generic Objects or providing default behaviors.
