> There are plenty of places where empty collections are returned from public API methods like:
> {code}
>      public List<Exception> getExceptions()
>      {
>         return exceptions == null ? Collections.<Exception> emptyList() : exceptions;
>      }
> {code}
> The issue with this is that the empty list is immutable but the collection returned for the nun-null case is not immutable. All those methods should return an immutable collection consistently.
