hello,

I am trying regular expression.  I want to match a java fuction like
public static void main (

see I want to avoid keywords in above declaration for scope, modifier,
returntype and name.  I am not sure how to make a regular expression
like

!keyword | [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*
meaning no keyword or some return type
