    Description

      In our project we use the helpmojo goal of the maven-plugin-plugin to generate a HelpMojo class.
      Unfortunately the maven-javadoc-plugin fails to process that generated file because the generated javadoc comments contain the illegal symbol '<'.

      Here is the error message:

      [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:3.0.0-M1:jar (attach-javadocs) on project codegen-maven-plugin: MavenReportException: Error while generating Javadoc:
      [ERROR] Exit code: 1 - D:\eclipse\codegen\codegen-maven-plugin\target\generated-sources\plugin\de\chrlembeck\codegen\HelpMojo.java:354: error: malformed HTML
      [ERROR]      * @throws NegativeArraySizeException if <code>indent < 0</code>
      [ERROR]                                                           ^
      

      And this is the generated output, that fails:

          /**
           * Splits the specified text into lines of convenient display length.
           *
           * @param text       The text to split into lines, must not be <code>null</code>.
           * @param indent     The base indentation level of each line, must not be negative.
           * @param indentSize The size of each indentation, must not be negative.
           * @param lineLength The length of the line, must not be negative.
           * @return The sequence of display lines, never <code>null</code>.
           * @throws NegativeArraySizeException if <code>indent < 0</code>
           */
          private static List<String> toLines( String text, int indent, int indentSize, int lineLength )
