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。

后期模型JAVA对+和常量字符串进行了优化，在幕后使用了StringBuffer，所以你不想让它使你的代码变得混乱。
它指出了JAVA的一个疏忽，它不像ANSI C在双引号字符串之间只有空白的自动连接，例如:
const char usage = "\n"
"Usage: xxxx <options>\n"
"\n"
"Removes your options as designated by the required parameter <options>,\n"
"which must be one of the following strings:\n"
" love\n"
" sex\n"
" drugs\n"
" rockandroll\n"
"\n" ;
我想有一个多行字符数组常量，其中嵌入换行是光荣的，所以我可以在没有任何混乱的情况下呈现块，例如:
String Query = "
SELECT
some_column,
another column
FROM
one_table a
JOIN
another_table b
ON a.id = b.id
AND a.role_code = b.role_code
WHERE a.dept = 'sales'
AND b.sales_quote > 1000
Order BY 1, 2
" ;
要做到这一点，需要打败JAVA之神。

我建议使用ThomasP所建议的实用程序，然后将其链接到构建过程中。仍然存在一个外部文件以包含文本，但在运行时不读取该文件。 工作流程如下:
构建一个“文本文件到java代码”实用程序并检查到版本控制 在每次构建时，针对资源文件运行实用程序以创建修改后的java源 Java源代码包含类似于 类TextBlock{…后面跟着一个从资源文件自动生成的静态字符串 用剩下的代码构建生成的java文件
当我读到多行语法确实是为jdk7计划的(在java存在了多少年之后?)时，我有点恼火。有趣的是，甚至还没有readAll()函数用于读取文件的完整内容(仅从jdk7读取，啊啊)，因此下面的代码读取单行。
/*
MakeMultiline v1.0 (2010) - Free to use and copy.
Small gadget to turn text blobs into one java string literal
(doing the split in lines, adding \n at each end and enclosing
in double quotes). Does escape quotes encountered in the text blob.
Useful for working around missing multiline string syntax in java
prior jdk7. Use with:
java MakeMultiline " "
or
java MakeMultiline " " mytextfile.txt
*/
import java.io.*;
class MakeMultiline {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// args[0]: indent
// args[1]: filename to read (optional; stdin if not given)
// Beware the nmb of newlines at the end when using stdin!
String indent = (args.length > 0 ? args[0] : "");
FileReader fr = null; BufferedReader br;
if (args.length > 1)
{ fr = new FileReader(args[1]); br = new BufferedReader(fr); }
else
{ br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); }
String s; String res = "";
while((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
if (res.length() > 0) res += " +\n";
res += indent + "\"" + s.replace("\"", "\\\"") + "\\n\"";
}
br.close(); if (fr != null) fr.close();
System.out.println(res + ";");
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
}
}
}
这对我来说是最快的解决办法。(2010-01-27)
我知道这是一个老问题，但是对于感兴趣的开发人员来说，多行文字将在#Java12中

Java 13及以上版本
Java中现在通过文本块支持多行字符串。在Java 13和14中，这个特性要求你在构建和运行项目时设置——enable-preview选项。在Java 15及以后版本中，由于文本块已成为标准特性，因此不再需要此选项。查看官方的文本块编程指南，了解更多细节。
现在，在Java 13之前，你是这样写查询的:
List<Tuple> posts = entityManager
.createNativeQuery(
"SELECT *\n" +
"FROM (\n" +
" SELECT *,\n" +
" dense_rank() OVER (\n" +
" ORDER BY \"p.created_on\", \"p.id\"\n" +
" ) rank\n" +
" FROM (\n" +
" SELECT p.id AS \"p.id\",\n" +
" p.created_on AS \"p.created_on\",\n" +
" p.title AS \"p.title\",\n" +
" pc.id as \"pc.id\",\n" +
" pc.created_on AS \"pc.created_on\",\n" +
" pc.review AS \"pc.review\",\n" +
" pc.post_id AS \"pc.post_id\"\n" +
" FROM post p\n" +
" LEFT JOIN post_comment pc ON p.id = pc.post_id\n" +
" WHERE p.title LIKE :titlePattern\n" +
" ORDER BY p.created_on\n" +
" ) p_pc\n" +
") p_pc_r\n" +
"WHERE p_pc_r.rank <= :rank\n",
Tuple.class)
.setParameter("titlePattern", "High-Performance Java Persistence %")
.setParameter("rank", 5)
.getResultList();
多亏了Java 13 Text Blocks，你可以像下面这样重写这个查询:
List<Tuple> posts = entityManager
.createNativeQuery("""
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *,
dense_rank() OVER (
ORDER BY "p.created_on", "p.id"
) rank
FROM (
SELECT p.id AS "p.id",
p.created_on AS "p.created_on",
p.title AS "p.title",
pc.id as "pc.id",
pc.created_on AS "pc.created_on",
pc.review AS "pc.review",
pc.post_id AS "pc.post_id"
FROM post p
LEFT JOIN post_comment pc ON p.id = pc.post_id
WHERE p.title LIKE :titlePattern
ORDER BY p.created_on
) p_pc
) p_pc_r
WHERE p_pc_r.rank <= :rank
""",
Tuple.class)
.setParameter("titlePattern", "High-Performance Java Persistence %")
.setParameter("rank", 5)
.getResultList();
可读性强多了，对吧?
支持的想法
IntelliJ IDEA提供了将传统字符串连接块转换为新的多行字符串格式的支持:
Json, html, XML
多行String在编写JSON、HTML或XML时特别有用。
考虑下面的例子，使用String连接来构建一个JSON字符串文字:
entityManager.persist(
new Book()
.setId(1L)
.setIsbn("978-9730228236")
.setProperties(
"{" +
" \"title\": \"High-Performance Java Persistence\"," +
" \"author\": \"Vlad Mihalcea\"," +
" \"publisher\": \"Amazon\"," +
" \"price\": 44.99," +
" \"reviews\": [" +
" {" +
" \"reviewer\": \"Cristiano\", " +
" \"review\": \"Excellent book to understand Java Persistence\", " +
" \"date\": \"2017-11-14\", " +
" \"rating\": 5" +
" }," +
" {" +
" \"reviewer\": \"T.W\", " +
" \"review\": \"The best JPA ORM book out there\", " +
" \"date\": \"2019-01-27\", " +
" \"rating\": 5" +
" }," +
" {" +
" \"reviewer\": \"Shaikh\", " +
" \"review\": \"The most informative book\", " +
" \"date\": \"2016-12-24\", " +
" \"rating\": 4" +
" }" +
" ]" +
"}"
)
);
由于转义字符和大量的双引号和加号，您几乎无法阅读JSON。
使用Java文本块，JSON对象可以这样写:
entityManager.persist(
new Book()
.setId(1L)
.setIsbn("978-9730228236")
.setProperties("""
{
"title": "High-Performance Java Persistence",
"author": "Vlad Mihalcea",
"publisher": "Amazon",
"price": 44.99,
"reviews": [
{
"reviewer": "Cristiano",
"review": "Excellent book to understand Java Persistence",
"date": "2017-11-14",
"rating": 5
},
{
"reviewer": "T.W",
"review": "The best JPA ORM book out there",
"date": "2019-01-27",
"rating": 5
},
{
"reviewer": "Shaikh",
"review": "The most informative book",
"date": "2016-12-24",
"rating": 4
}
]
}
"""
)
);
自从我在2004年使用c#以来，我一直希望在Java中有这个功能，现在我们终于有了它。
如果你在属性文件中定义字符串，它看起来会更糟糕。IIRC，它看起来像:
string:text\u000atext\u000atext\u000a
一般来说，在源代码中不嵌入大字符串是一个合理的想法。您可能希望将它们作为资源加载，可能以XML或可读的文本格式加载。文本文件可以在运行时读取，也可以编译成Java源代码。如果你最终把它们放在源代码中，我建议把+放在前面，省略不必要的新行:
final String text = ""
+"text "
+"text "
+"text"
;
如果你有新的行，你可能需要一些join或格式化方法:
final String text = join("\r\n"
,"text"
,"text"
,"text"
);
