Code line wrapping – how to handle long lines

In general, I break lines before operators, and indent the subsequent lines:

Map<long parameterization> longMap
    = new HashMap<ditto>();

String longString = "some long text"
                  + " some more long text";

To me, the leading operator clearly conveys that “this line was continued from something else, it doesn’t stand on its own.” Other people, of course, have different preferences.
