I've got the "escape when pasting into string literals" setting checked in
the Java Editor configuration. So, when I paste multiline text into a
string literal in a Java editor, the editor helpfully escapes the string,
putting \ before any nested ", breaking newlines into multiple literals with
+ between them, and so forth.
However, all the newlines are escaped as '\r\n' rather than just '\n'.
It doesn't seem to matter what source I'm pasting from: I've tried copying
from the debug console, from Notepad, etc. So I don't think it's anything
special about the contents of the clipboard.
This is happening on Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4, latest builds of each, on Windows
XP.
Is there any way to make it paste just '\n', rather than '\r\n'?
Thanks!

Nope. We use the line delimiter that's used in the document you're editing.
