This inspection reports any access to the java.util.Collections fields EMPTY_LIST, EMPTY_MAP or EMPTY_SET. Those expressions can be replaced by method calls to emptyList(), emptyMap() and emptySet(). Such method calls prevent javac "unchecked" warnings because any type parameters can be inferred.

For safety, this inspection is disabled unless the project uses JDK 5.0.
