How do I get a platform-dependent new line character?

Question

How do I get a platform-dependent newline in Java? I can’t use \"\\n\" everywhere.

Answer 1

The commons-lang library has a constant field available called SystemUtils.LINE_SEPARATOR

Answer 2

This is also possible: String.format("%n").

Or String.format("%n").intern() to save some bytes.

Answer 3

You can use

System.getProperty("line.separator");

to get the line separator
