Is there a way to implement @NotEmpty hibernate validation without writing custom validation? javax.validation package does not contain this annotation. Only @NotNull. But it does not validate for Non-null but empty values. So I would like to see an alternative for @NotEmpty.

Using @Pattern? How?

NotEmpty is just a combination of @NotNull and @Size(min=1).
