In Java the leading [1] newlines are stripped as well as the trailing ones [2].

The last newline is not automatically stripped in Java.

    jshell> var s = """
       ...> hello world
       ...> """;
    s ==> "hello world\n"

You have to escape it:

    jshell> var s = """
       ...> hello world\
       ...> """;
    s ==> "hello world"

I stand corrected, thank you.
