Including Angle Brackets In Pre Sections

I am attempting to post some java code between pre tags but the angel brackets get removed. For example:

private HashMap<String, HashMap<String, Integer>> featureCounts;

becomes

private HashMap> featureCounts;

Is there a way I can render the actual code? Also I am not a php developer or a wordpress expert by any means, so modifying the underlying php would be less preferred as a solution. Is there a way I can do this just using the editor?

If you’re just trying to display them in a page or a post, you could try using their character entities. In the Text view in the editor, type &lt; instead of < and &gt; instead of >.

So, for instance, in your editor’s Text view (not the Visual mode), you’d type:

<pre>
private HashMap&lt;String, HashMap&lt;String, Integer&gt;&gt; featureCounts;
</pre>

And that should do it.
