Description Jay Arthanareeswaran CLA 2020-03-19 06:43:28 EDT 
This was originally reported via bug 561239:

1. generation of multi-line strings is WRONG, starts with a spurious newline
The code looks like
  private static final String MESSAGE = """
          This is a multi-line
          message that is super-
          exciting!""";
...
    System.out.println("Playing with recent JDK features:");
    System.out.println(MESSAGE);

and the generated output is:
Playing with recent JDK features:

This is a multi-line
message that is super-
exciting!

that blank line is there is NOT CORRECT.

Investigation shows that in case of CR+LF, we treat the LF as part of the text block literal. This is wrong.
