i have a huge .java file and i want to find all declared objects given the className. i think the declaration will always have the following signature:

className objName;

or

className objName =

or

className objName=

can someone suggest me a grep pattern which will find these signatures. I have the following (incomplete) :

    cat $rootFile | grep "$className "
