Greater-than sign incorrectly considered an invalid character in HTML5 text

XMLWordPrintable

      A HTML5 file like the following

      <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head><title>README</title></head>
  <body>
    <p>To run the tests, select Run As &ndash;> JUnit Test in the context menu.</p>
  </body>
</html>

      results in a warning of type HTML Problem with the text Invalid character used in text string, marking the greater-than sign (">").

      This warning is incorrect, since ">" is a valid character in HTML5 text elements as confirmed by the W3C validator.
