Search for the regular expression static\s*\{

This expression works even if the curly brace is on the subsequent line, as shown in your example.

Details:

  • Use menu item Search>Search...
  • In the dialog that appears:
    • In the field Containing text, enter static\s*\{
    • Click the Regular expression checkbox.
    • Under File name patterns, put *.java.
