Java Puzzler: Splitting Hairs

Try to answer this question without running the code, or reading the class documentation.

Assume we're using Java 1.6, though it likely doesn't matter if you're using Java 1.5.

What does the following snippet print?

String[] nothing = "".split(":");
String[] bunchOfNothing = ":".split(":");

System.out.printf("%d/%d\n", nothing.length, bunchOfNothing.length);

I will post an answer on Sunday.

This puzzler comes with six possible answers. I would have liked to have given four choices, but then I realized this was just for fun.
