Description

Break method definition into 2 lines and may have a compile error, which does not when the definition is in one line!
(used with Java generics, but happends also without <T>)

Like: def public static ReturnType
getxxxx()

{ ... }

But it compiles when:

def public static
ReturnType getxxx()
{
...
}

Ok: def public static ReturnType getxxx()
{
...
}
