is there any way to search all methods in Java class with regex?

of course it is possible even it would be a complex regex. but what are you trying to achieve? you can get the list of methods with java reflection much more easily.Juvanis– Juvanis2013-07-26 07:42:32 +00:00Commented Jul 26, 2013 at 7:42

1Are you trying to parse a Java code file or what? Regex certainly is the wrong tool for this job.Daniel Hilgarth– Daniel Hilgarth2013-07-26 07:43:01 +00:00Commented Jul 26, 2013 at 7:43

Um, I am really impressed. It's a first time I see regex used as reflection tool.Leri– Leri2013-07-26 07:43:10 +00:00Commented Jul 26, 2013 at 7:43

You are probably looking for AspectJ Pointcut expressions: guptavikas.wordpress.com/2010/04/15/…necromancer– necromancer2013-07-26 07:47:16 +00:00Commented Jul 26, 2013 at 7:47

I cannot compile the class due to some data not ready yet, that's why I cannot use java reflection.Aditya Hadi– Aditya Hadi2013-07-26 08:00:01 +00:00Commented Jul 26, 2013 at 8:00

With this you can, but search before ask, because i only have used the search to find this answer ^^.

That would not account for comments or strings. And if you copied that expression from somewhere, give the original author credit by linking to the source.

I still got ` else if (plane == REFLECT_PLANE_XZ)` in the results. Any idea?

try to use only the first part oh the exreg, altaugh is a little suspicious that the string that you paste validate the expression.
I think you're looking for reflection - see this tutorial for help. Only through reflection can you access information about loaded classes - unless you're thinking of loading in the .java file and analyzing its text.
