    +/**
    + * <p>Works with {@link ToStringBuilder} to create a "deep" <code>toString</code>. 
    + * But instead a single line like the {@link RecursiveToStringStyle} this creates a multiline String 
    + * similar to the {@link ToStringStyle.MultiLineToStringStyle}.</p>
    + * 
    + * <p>To use this class write code as follows:</p>
    + *
    + * <pre>
    + * public class Job {
    + *   String title;
    + *   ...
    + * }
    + * 
    + * public class Person {
    + *   String name;
    + *   int age;
    + *   boolean smoker;
    + *   Job job;
    + * 
    + *   ...
    + * 
    + *   public String toString() {
    + *     return new ReflectionToStringBuilder(this, new MultilineRecursiveToStringStyle()).toString();
    + *   }
    + * }
    + * </pre>
    + *
    + * <p>
    + * This will produce a toString of the format:<br>
    + * <code>Person@7f54[ <br>
    + * &nbsp; name=Stephen, <br>
    + * &nbsp; age=29, <br>
    + * &nbsp; smoker=false, <br>
    + * &nbsp; job=Job@43cd2[ <br>
    + * &nbsp; &nbsp; title=Manager <br>
    + * &nbsp;  ] <br>
    + * ]
    + * </code>
    + * </p>
    + * 
    + * @since 3.4

    Should this have been public? I've been trying to use this class, but can neither import it nor find a factory method that might give me an instance of the class.
