In java.util.Properties, line 203 marks the statement:

nextLine = new String("");

I am pretty sure that this is a creating 2 new String objects (one via the
constructor and one via the object literal) where only 1 is needed. Since
java.util.Properties is so heavily used I figured it might be worthwhile to
bring this to your attention.
