This question does not show any syntax highlighting although the code seems ok to me. What is the cause of it?

Tested with FF 3.6.15 and IE 8.0.

Either add the tag to the question or add the following language hint to a new line just before your code block (hint should have 0 indentation):

<!-- language: java -->

  • I'm a bit late to the show but I got the language hint working by leaving a blank line before and after it, without an indent, just above the code block, and exactly as it appears above - with white space as shown. Strangely considering how pedantic it is, both language: java and language: lang-java will work.
