That works, but if you're not paying attention, you can get code that looks 
like this:

       object.method(someArg,
                            "a rather
long string",
                             new
AClassWithAReallyLongName(3));
While this meets the requirement of not having anything beyond column 80, 
it's probably not what you actually want.  Especially since the compiler 
won't accept the string.

The various options other people have been suggesting are probably better.
