Java 7 - Multi-line String literals
One of the most common features in other programming languages is the multi-line String literal. Would it be possible to add this to Java?

I think this would be awesome, it is such a pain that you have to either do concatenation with + or read it from a total separate file. There doesn't need to be any special syntax. Other languages have allowed multi line strings for ages with no problem and I have always thought it a little bit silly that java wouldn't let you do it.

Is it really worth the effort? Typing "mystring" + "otherstring" is not that hard.
