JFlex %state keyword only implements inclusive states, but sometimes exclusive states are required for the job.

I'll propably implement it in the next major version. Do you
have any special situation where you need exclusive states?

The specific application I'm working with is intended to
convert a text file in a specific format to an XML file.
The reason I need exclusive states is that the formats for
the sections of the source text file are completely
different. This thing started out as a C++ application and
except for this one thing, I've had no difficulty porting
using JFlex. I'm not expert in Java yet, but let me know
if I can help.
