With the default formatter settings, format org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.Statement rev. 1.28.

Text inside <pre> tags is mangled, leading to compile errors. E.g.
	 * <pre>
	 * setLeadingComment("/&#42; traditional comment &#42;/");  // correct
becomes
	 * <pre>
	 * setLeadingComment(&quot;/ * traditional comment  */&quot;); // correct
etc.

When I disable "Format Java code snippets inside 'pre' tags", the compile errors do not occur.

This looks like a dup of bug 109636.
This is not something new.
