Not rendering Java 5 code correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Use the following code snippet:

<pre name="code" class="java">
package com.centuryminds.softreferences;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

/**
 * A group of {@link Item}
 */
public class Group<T extends Item>
{
  private final List<T> items = new ArrayList<T>();

  public void add(T item)
  {
    items.add(item);
  }

  // other methods
  // ...
}
</pre>

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to see the code rendered as is, but instead, I see:

# package com.centuryminds.softreferences;  
#   
# import java.util.ArrayList;  
# import java.util.List;  
#   
# /** 
#  * A group of {@link Item} 
#  */  
# public class Group<t extends="" item="">  
# {  
#   private final List<t> items = new ArrayList<t>();  
#   
#   public void add(T item)  
#   {  
#     items.add(item);  
#   }  
#   
#   // other methods  
#   // …  
# }  
# </t></t></t> 

My take is that SyntaxHighlighter does not fully support Java 5, or at
least the generics feature introduced in that version.

What version of the product are you using?

1.5.1

On what operating system?

Firefox 2.0+ on MacOS X Tiger

Please fix this

Use <textarea> instead of <pre> using highlighting Java code that uses generic.

issue is the browser treats <T extends Item> as a <T> tag with attributes 
'extends'
and 'item'

this code should work:

<textarea name="code" class="java" cols="60" rows="10">
package com.centuryminds.softreferences;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

/**
 * A group of {@link Item}
 */
@WebService
public class Group<T extends Item> {
  private final List<T> items = new ArrayList<T>();

  public void add(T item) {
    items.add(item);
  }
}
</textarea>

I doubt there is a fix for this when using <pre> tag since the DOM sees <T 
extends
Item> as a XML tag.
