JTS/Geotools Correct union/difference of multiple geometry

Problem :

I have a shape file that contains the targeted area (yellow).

I have a shape file that contains the buildings (green).

I need the white space in the yellow area.

My solutions :

  1. Get all buildings in that area

    Filter inPolygon = CQL.toFilter("WITHIN(the_geom,"+wktwriter.write(targetarea) + ")");

    FeatureCollection<SimpleFeatureType, SimpleFeature> collection = featureSource.getFeatures(inPolygon);//this works

  2. From every building get it's geometry and use difference on the target area

    toCover = toCover.Difference(building);

OR second solution :

Union of every building and then difference at the end.

OR third solution :

Put them all in a GeomtryCollection call union and then use difference

Everyone of these solutions give me something like the following picture

Let it be clear I tried out several ways to solve this problem, by using different ways of creating / making or using it. Even with the given code in the site below it did not work correct.
