How to format code snippet in Javadoc with @ and { symbols inside?

Question

This is what I'm trying to do:

/**  * <pre>  * {@code  * &#64;XmlRootElement  * public final class Page &#123;  * &#125;  * }  * </pre>  */ 

I'm expecting it to be formatted like:

@XmlRootElement public final class Page { } 

But I'm getting:

@XmlRootElement public final class Page { } 

Replacing these HTML entities with real symbols (@, {, }) leads to javadoc warnings and absolutely incorrect formatting. What is a workaround?

Answer 1

This is how it finally works for me:

/**  * <pre>  * &#64;XmlRootElement  * public final class Page {  * }  * </pre>  */ 

Answer 2

<pre> <code> {@literal@}Override public String toString() {     return "blah"; } </code> </pre> 

This works for me.
