How do I create an empty Stream in Java?

In C# I would use Enumerable.Empty(), but how do I create an empty Stream in Java?

As simple as this: Stream.empty()

Stream<String> emptyStr = Stream.of();

emptyStr.count() returns 0 (zero).

In addition:

For a primitive stream like IntStream, IntStream.of() works in similar way (also the empty method). IntStream.of(new int[]{}) also returns an empty stream.
The Arrays class has stream creation methods which accept an array of primitives or an object type. This can be used to create an empty stream; e.g.,: System.out.println(Arrays.stream(new int[]{}).count()); prints zero.
Any stream created from a collection (like a List or Set) with zero elements can return an empty stream; for example: new ArrayList<Integer>().stream() returns an empty stream of type Integer.
