[BUG][Java][Spring] error: constant string too long #2186

@TruthNZ

Description

@TruthNZ

With a large enough data model the Java-Spring server generator produces example responses with a string that is too long for the Java compiler.
It's not exceeding the size of a string allowed by the JVM, but the size of a string constant the compiler handles.

 default ResponseEntity<ResponseObject> restMethod(@ApiParam(value = "A Parameter",required=true) @PathVariable("parameter") String parameter) {
        getRequest().ifPresent(request -> {
            for (MediaType mediaType: MediaType.parseMediaTypes(request.getHeader("Accept"))) {
                if (mediaType.isCompatibleWith(MediaType.valueOf("application/json"))) {
                    ApiUtil.setExampleResponse(request, "application/json", "{ [A large example json string response that breaks the Java compiler] }");
                    break;
                }
            }
        });
        return new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.NOT_IMPLEMENTED);
    }

Was generated using openapi-generator-maven-plugin 3.3.4.
Settings:

<generatorName>spring</generatorName>

Potentially similar to the swagger codegen issue: swagger-api/swagger-codegen#9055

Is an example response needed?
Failing that: Could it be broken into a StringBuilder (or at worst just string concatenation)? Or maybe loaded from a resource file?
