JPA / EclipseLink - create script source with one SQL statement taking multiple lines

Question

I want to let the persistence provider (EclipseLink 2.5.0) automatically create the tables in the, already existing, database by using the persistence unit property "javax.persistence.schema-generation.create-script-source" and a valid SQL-DDL-script.

persistence.xml:

<property name="javax.persistence.schema-generation.create-script-source" value="data/ddl.sql"/>

ddl.sql:

USE myDatabase;

CREATE TABLE MyTable (
    id INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    myColumn VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE = InnoDB DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE = utf8_bin;

But I got the following error:

[EL Warning]: 2014-02-12 13:31:44.778--ServerSession(768298666)--Thread(Thread[main,5,main])--Local Exception Stack:

It seems that the carriage return line feed (newline) is the problem. And if I change the SQL-DDL-script, so that one SQL-statement only takes one line, everything is working fine.

adjusted ddl.sql:

USE myDatabase;

CREATE TABLE MyTable (id INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, myColumn VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ENGINE = InnoDB DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE = utf8_bin;

But I don't want to reformat my SQL-DDL-script for readability. Please help!

If someone still faces this problem, it can be solved by adding following parameter (found here):

<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.import_files_sql_extractor" value="org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.MultipleLinesSqlCommandExtractor" />
