Multiline

An implementation of multiline string literals in Java, using Javadoc comments.

This project is originated from Adrian Walker's blog post ( http://www.adrianwalker.org/2011/12/java-multiline-string.html ).

Usage

You can use multiline string literals with javadoc comments and '@Multiline' annotation.

For example,

/**
DELETE
FROM post
*/
@Multiline static String deleteFromPost;

is equivalent to the following expression in Groovy.

static String deleteFromPost = """
DELETE
FROM post
"""

Configuration
