> I had a look how `canBeMultilinePattern` is used and I think it would be
easier and more consistent to modify the regexp `MULTILINE_REGEXP_PATTERN` in
`TextRegexpUtil`. The util method is used to determine if a single line in the
file is enough for examination or if the whole file needs to be matched.
yeah I looked at that regexp too. Its just that the method actually expects
a regexp (see doc and also the actual pattern) and checks if the regexp would
want to match multiline. If it would also check if the regexps itself would be
multiline that would make it a weird frankenstein method - so i decided against
it.

`\nTEST\n` into the search box and switch to match to "Regular Expression" and
you will find only places where `TEST` is the only content in a line.
True, but it would have made things more complicated since i wanted to
replace a string which contained regexp control characters. Turning on regexps
would require escaping.
```java
public class ${name} {
public static void main( String[] args )
{
System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
}
}
```
thought might as well fix it instead of using the bash.
