Like Jan said, your copy of the API User's Guide is OK. Browsers don't
display Java code (or C code, or C++ code, or ...) properly, even inside
<pre></pre> or <code></code>.
When they see < they think it's an HTML command, and they swallow the
text after that until they see >.
This might be proper SGML/HTML spec behavior, I don't know. I know
you can cause < to be printed by using < but then the code *really*
won't compile. What you need to do is copy the code example from
API_users_guide.html to some other example.java file and look at it that
way and compile it from the .java file.
