Answer 1

You can configure Eclipse to escape text when pasting into a string literal.

• Go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing.
• Select the checkbox which says “Escape text when pasting into a string literal”.
• Press Apply.

Now create a String literal e.g.

String xml = "";

Copy your xml and paste it inside the quotes. Eclipse will automatically escape it for you.

This is quite handy for small bits of xml or text.

If you have a large file, then you should read the file into a string instead.
