来自Perl，我肯定错过了在源代码中创建多行字符串的“here-document”方法:
$string = <<"EOF" # create a three-line string
text
text
text
EOF
在Java中，当我从头开始连接多行字符串时，我必须在每一行上使用繁琐的引号和加号。
有什么更好的选择吗?在属性文件中定义我的字符串?
编辑:有两个答案说StringBuilder.append()比加号更可取。谁能详细解释一下他们为什么这么想?在我看来，这一点也不可取。我正在寻找一种方法来解决多行字符串不是一级语言结构这一事实，这意味着我绝对不想用方法调用取代一级语言结构(字符串连接与加号)。
编辑:为了进一步澄清我的问题，我根本不关心性能。我关心的是可维护性和设计问题。

看到所有的答案，我认为没有人提到比在java的新版本，你可以这样做:
String s = """
This
is
a
multiline
string
""";
System.out.println(s);
这是它打印的内容:
This
is
a
multiline
string
其他回答
这看起来可能有点疯狂，但由于这里文档是单行声明的语法糖，并转义了换行符，因此可以为Java文件编写预处理程序，在预处理期间将这里文档更改为单行。
这需要在编译阶段(对于ant/maven构建)之前为预处理文件编写适当的插件，并为IDE编写插件。
从意识形态的观点来看，它与f.g.没有什么不同。“泛型”，这也是一种预处理的语法加糖铸造。
然而，这是一个大量的工作，所以我会在你的地方只使用.properties文件。
这是一个老线程，但是一个新的非常优雅的解决方案(只有4个或3个小缺点)是使用自定义注释。
查询:http://www.adrianwalker.org/2011/12/java-multiline-string.html
受此启发的一个项目托管在GitHub上:
https://github.com/benelog/multiline
Java代码示例:
import org.adrianwalker.multilinestring.Multiline;
...
public final class MultilineStringUsage {
/**
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<p>
Hello<br/>
Multiline<br/>
World<br/>
</p>
</body>
</html>
*/
@Multiline
private static String html;
public static void main(final String[] args) {
System.out.println(html);
}
}
缺点是
您必须激活相应的(提供的)注释 处理器。 该字符串变量不能定义为局部变量检查原始字符串字面量项目，其中您可以将变量定义为局部变量 字符串不能像在Visual Basic .Net中那样包含其他变量 使用XML文本(<%=变量%>):-) 字符串文字由JavaDoc注释(/**)分隔
而且您可能必须配置Eclipse/Intellij-Idea，使其不会自动重新格式化Javadoc注释。
有人可能会觉得这很奇怪(Javadoc注释并不是为嵌入注释以外的任何内容而设计的)，但由于Java中缺少多行字符串确实令人讨厌，因此我认为这是最不糟糕的解决方案。
String.join
Java 8为Java .lang. string添加了一个新的静态方法，它提供了一个更好的选择:
String.join ( CharSequence分隔符， CharSequence进行…元素 ）
使用它:
String s = String.join(
System.getProperty("line.separator"),
"First line.",
"Second line.",
"The rest.",
"And the last!"
);
注意:这个答案适用于Java 14及以上版本。
Java 15引入了文本块(多行文字)。详情请看这个答案。
听起来像是要做一个多行文字，这在Java中是不存在的。
你最好的选择是用+ d组合的字符串。人们提到的一些其他选项(StringBuilder, String。format, String.join)只有当你从一个字符串数组开始时才更可取。
考虑一下:
String s = "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,\n"
+ "it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,\n"
+ "it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,\n"
+ "it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,\n"
+ "it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,\n"
+ "we had everything before us, we had nothing before us";
与StringBuilder:
String s = new StringBuilder()
.append("It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,\n")
.append("it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,\n")
.append("it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,\n")
.append("it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,\n")
.append("it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,\n")
.append("we had everything before us, we had nothing before us")
.toString();
与String.format ():
String s = String.format("%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s"
, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,"
, "it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,"
, "it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,"
, "it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,"
, "it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,"
, "we had everything before us, we had nothing before us"
);
相对于Java8 String.join():
String s = String.join("\n"
, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,"
, "it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,"
, "it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,"
, "it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,"
, "it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,"
, "we had everything before us, we had nothing before us"
);
如果您想在特定的系统中使用换行符，您要么需要使用system . lineseparator()，要么可以在String.format中使用%n。
另一种选择是将资源放在文本文件中，只读取该文件的内容。对于非常大的字符串，这将是可取的，以避免不必要地膨胀您的类文件。
String newline = System.getProperty ("line.separator");
string1 + newline + string2 + newline + string3
但是，最好的替代方法是使用String.format
String multilineString = String.format("%s\n%s\n%s\n",line1,line2,line3);
