Unfortunately, Java has no syntax for multi-line string literals. No problem if the IDE makes it easy to work with constructs like

  String x = "CREATE TABLE TEST ( \n"
             + "A INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, \n"
            ...

What is the fastest way to paste a multi-line String from the clipboard into Java source using Eclipse (in a way that it automagically creates code like the above).
