Lots of search and replace?

Not only do you have to move the files into the appropriate directory
hierarchy, you also have to change the package declarations at the top
of each file.

I did this recently. Not terribly fun.

You know, that can be done in about 10 lines of perl. Or 50 lines
of ant. Or, if you're on unix, a simple shell script...

You should be able to do in with 2 simple lines.

mv src/package1/package2/something/* src/package3/packag2/something
replace "package package1" "package packag2" --
src/package3/packag2/something/*.java

Eclipse is a dream for this. Not only does it change the package
declarations, it fixes all the references.

Intellij is not quite as bright. It works only within one project.

I still ended up having to do some explicit keystrokes in each file.
Or did I? I ended up typing "ctrl+1" a few times for each file.

The way I did this was to right click on the package name in the
"Package Explorer" window, and select Refactor-Rename.

I've also done it in a Perl script, before Eclipse got so good at
refactoring.

I may have run into trouble because I also had to move it within our
version control system, which is not so hot. Now that I think about
it, that was probably the issue.

Just rename the package statement that is in each of your java program
files. Then put them into the new package dir structure you change it to.
