Refactoring

[LuckyKoen]

I currently use Eclipse to make my java projects. Eclipse allows refactoring of class names, and it will even update references in other classes and xml files to this class. However, you can only refactor one class at a time as far as I know.

Are there any tools available that can refactor a whole directory or sereval directories of .java and .xml files at once ?

for file in `ls .`
do
cat $file | sed 's/oldname/newname/g' > tmp
mv tmp $file
done

You can refactor a package, can't you?

That will only rename the file names, right ?

Dian : yes, you can refactor a package. This will only change the name of the package, not the names of the files in that package.

Nope, that will rip through every file in your directory, replacing the strings as stated in the 'sed' arg.

Btw, why would you want to do such a massive refactoring?
