我还没有看到的另一个答案是java.io.PrintWriter。

StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(stringWriter);
writer.println("It was the best of times, it was the worst of times");
writer.println("it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,");
writer.println("it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,");
writer.println("it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,");
writer.println("it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,");
writer.println("we had everything before us, we had nothing before us");
String string = stringWriter.toString();

此外，java.io.BufferedWriter有一个newLine()方法的事实也未被提及。

由于Java(还)不支持多行字符串，目前唯一的方法是使用前面提到的技术之一来破解它。我使用上面提到的一些技巧构建了下面的Python脚本:

import sys
import string
import os

print 'new String('
for line in sys.stdin:
    one = string.replace(line, '"', '\\"').rstrip(os.linesep)
    print '  + "' + one + ' "'
print ')'

把它放在一个名为javastringify.py的文件中，把你的字符串放在一个名为mystring.txt的文件中，然后像下面这样运行:

cat mystring.txt | python javastringify.py

然后，您可以复制输出并将其粘贴到编辑器中。

修改这需要处理任何特殊情况，但这是为我的需要。希望这能有所帮助!

我所知道的唯一方法是用加号连接多行

我至少看到了一种应该避免使用外部文件处理长字符串的情况:如果这些长字符串是单元测试文件中的预期值，因为我认为测试应该始终以一种不依赖任何外部资源的方式编写。

当使用一长串的+时，只会创建一个StringBuilder，除非在编译时确定String，在这种情况下不使用StringBuilder !

StringBuilder唯一更高效的情况是使用多个语句构造String。

String a = "a\n";
String b = "b\n";
String c = "c\n";
String d = "d\n";

String abcd = a + b + c + d;
System.out.println(abcd);

String abcd2 = "a\n" +
        "b\n" +
        "c\n" +
        "d\n";
System.out.println(abcd2);

注意:只创建了一个StringBuilder。

  Code:
   0:   ldc     #2; //String a\n
   2:   astore_1
   3:   ldc     #3; //String b\n
   5:   astore_2
   6:   ldc     #4; //String c\n
   8:   astore_3
   9:   ldc     #5; //String d\n
   11:  astore  4
   13:  new     #6; //class java/lang/StringBuilder
   16:  dup
   17:  invokespecial   #7; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder."<init>":()V
   20:  aload_1
   21:  invokevirtual   #8; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;
   24:  aload_2
   25:  invokevirtual   #8; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;
   28:  aload_3
   29:  invokevirtual   #8; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;
   32:  aload   4
   34:  invokevirtual   #8; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;
   37:  invokevirtual   #9; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.toString:()Ljava/lang/String;
   40:  astore  5
   42:  getstatic       #10; //Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
   45:  aload   5
   47:  invokevirtual   #11; //Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(Ljava/lang/String;)V
   50:  ldc     #12; //String a\nb\nc\nd\n
   52:  astore  6
   54:  getstatic       #10; //Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
   57:  aload   6
   59:  invokevirtual   #11; //Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(Ljava/lang/String;)V
   62:  return

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。

尽你所能让它清晰简单。

使用这个库

https://github.com/alessio-santacroce/multiline-string-literals

可以这样写

System.out.println(newString(/*
      Wow, we finally have
      multiline strings in
      Java! HOOO!
*/));

很好很简单，但是只适用于单元测试
