Java “constant string too long” compile error. Only happens using Ant, not when using Eclipse

Question

I have a few really long strings in one class for initializing user information. When I compile in Eclipse, I don\'t get any errors or warnings, and the resulting .jar runs

Answer 1

I was able to resolve this issue in a similar way like Lukas Eder.

String testXML = "REALLY LONG STRING...............................";
       textXML += "SECOND PART OF REALLY LONG STRING..........";
       textXML += "THIRD PART OF REALLY LONG STRING............";

Just split it up and add it together;
