I am trying to initialize a static field with a value that is a large string (114159 ASCII chars) - see code attached - as follows:

public class CompilerSO {
    static final String REQ2_LOG = new StringBuilder()
            .append("d88\r\n")
            .append("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do e")
            .append("iusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.\nUt en")
            .append("im ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nis")
            ...
            .append(" ea commodo conse\r\n")
            .append("0\r\n")
            .append("\r\n").toString();
}

The compiler fails with StackOverFlow:

$ javac -d build src/CompilerSO.java


The system is out of resources.
Consult the following stack trace for details.
