How does one negate an entire regexp (not merely a character range)?
Why I ask:

I'd like to use ediff-directories to compare two directories that
contain (mostly) java file, and I'd like to compare _only_ the java
files.

C-h f ediff-directories
 > (ediff-directories DIR1 DIR2 REGEXP)

 > Run Ediff on a pair of directories, DIR1 and DIR2, comparing files
 > that have the same name in both. The third argument, REGEXP, is a
 > regular expression that can be used to filter out certain file
 > names.

What would be the appropriate filter regexp, given that I want the
_complement_ of *.java?
