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)

一个小技巧。使用这个，我在动态创建的HTML页面中注入javascript

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

public String getString()
{
    return builder.toString();
}
private DropdownContent _(String a)
{
    builder.append(a);
    return this;
}

public String funct_showhide()
{
   return
    _("function slidedown_showHide(boxId)").
    _("{").
    _("if(!slidedown_direction[boxId])slidedown_direction[boxId] = 1;").
    _("if(!slideDownInitHeight[boxId])slideDownInitHeight[boxId] = 0;").
    _("if(slideDownInitHeight[boxId]==0)slidedown_direction[boxId]=slidedownSpeed; ").
    _("else slidedown_direction[boxId] = slidedownSpeed*-1;").
    _("slidedownContentBox = document.getElementById(boxId);").
    _("var subDivs = slidedownContentBox.getElementsByTagName('DIV');").
    _("for(var no=0;no<subDivs.length;no++){").
    _(" if(subDivs[no].className=='dhtmlgoodies_content')slidedownContent = subDivs[no];").
    _("}").
    _("contentHeight = slidedownContent.offsetHeight;").
    _("slidedownContentBox.style.visibility='visible';").
    _("slidedownActive = true;").
    _("slidedown_showHide_start(slidedownContentBox,slidedownContent);").
    _("}").getString();

}

在Eclipse中，如果你打开选项“在粘贴到字符串文字时转义文本”(在Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing中)并在引号中粘贴一个多行字符串，它将自动为你的所有行添加“和\n”+。

String str = "paste your text here";

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。

我有时使用一个并行groovy类来充当一个字符串包

这里的java类

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(TestStrings.json1);
        // consume .. parse json
    }
}

以及TestStrings.groovy中令人垂涎的多行字符串

class TestStrings {
    public static String json1 = """
    {
        "name": "Fakeer's Json",
        "age":100,
        "messages":["msg 1","msg 2","msg 3"]
    }""";
}

当然，这只适用于静态字符串。如果我必须在文本中插入变量，我会将整个文件更改为groovy。只要保持强类型实践，它就可以实现。

在属性文件中定义我的字符串?

属性文件中不允许多行字符串。您可以在属性文件中使用\n，但我认为这在您的情况下不是一个很好的解决方案。
