Description Christian Lenz 2016-11-13 14:15:22 UTC

Often you write inline SQL inside a java class. I know this is not a good practice maybe, but legacy code has this or some other codes:

String getSmth = "SELECT * FROM ...";

So in my opinion it is a must have to have Syntax highlighting AND code completion for SQL inside strings. It is much better to see errors and typos etc. IntelliJ does this too and it is very handy.

I don't know how often HTML and/or XML is used is strings, but this would be also cool and handy to prevent errors. If you want I can create a new ticket for this enhancement.
