== Why is this an issue?

If a string fits on a single line, without concatenation and escaped newlines, you should probably continue to use a string literal.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,java]
----
String question = """
              What's the point, really?""";
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,java]
----
String question = "What's the point, really?";
----
