Regex that Will Match a Java Method Declaration

by 
(public|protected|private|static|\s) +[\w\<\>\[\]]+\s+(\w+) *\([^\)]*\) *(\{?|[^;])

I think that the above regexp can match almost all possible combinations of Java method declarations, even those including generics and arrays are return arguments, which the regexp provided by the original author did not match.
