Even if you can get it to edit in an IDE, it will not compile. The JVM has a 64K byte limit per method, so there's no way that you're going to get a 4MB XML document to compile into a method anyway. Make the XML data and read it in at run-time. Use Scala's XML re-write tools to modify the document before serving it. Please also see Daniel's excellent comments on this thread.
