title: Java 8 - filter empty string from List not working
body: <p>I would like to remove an empty String from the List of Strings.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I tried, using the stream API:</p>
  
  <pre><code>list.stream().filter(item-&gt; item.isEmpty()).collect(Collectors.toList());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After that empty string is still present in the list. What am I missing?</p>
