escaping - Can I escape braces in a java MessageFormat?

Question

I want to output some braces in a java MessageFormat. For example I know the following does not work:

MessageFormat.format("  public {0} get{1}() {return {2};}

", type, upperCamel, lowerCamel);

Is there a way of escaping the braces surrounding "return {2}"?

Answer 1

You can put them inside single quotes e.g.

'{'return {2};'}'
