Subject: using heredoc string in erb

Hi.  I'd like to use heredoc notation in an erb view (I'm using Merb,
but I believe this is an erb issue, not specific to merb).  For
example, I wrote a helper function that lets me use syntax like that
below.  However, this example produces a parser error:

can't find string "CODE" anywhere before EOF

Any ideas how I can get this to work?  I posted this on the merb group
as well, but I suspect it's really an erb issue:

  <%= code "java", <<-CODE

	// create a panel using a GridBagLayout
	JPanel panel = new JPanel (new GridBagLayout());

	// three labels on the first row
	panel.add (new JLabel ("One"));
	panel.add (new JLabel ("Two"));
	panel.add (new JLabel ("Threeeee"));

  CODE %>

If I can get this to work it would be a really cool technique for
writing HTML helper functions.
