Multiline String annotation

[Kenneth]

Came across this inventive way that can be used for representing multiline Strings in java source code. (Ever needed to paste a quick, non-short, json into your test code?)

Would it be interesting to incorporate support for this in lombok? If so, I could give it a shot...

This is clever, but there are a lot of finer points around multiline strings (e.g. indentation), plus you'd have to guarantee consistent behavior across ecj and javac. How does this interact with embedded HTML, or Javadoc markup (tags like {@code ...})?

What had a similar idea. It would look like this:

String longString = Lombok.longString(/*

   type whatever

   you want here

   we'll deal with it and try to be smart about the indenting.*/);

We can do it, just a matter of finding the time.
