Shortcut for changing package name declaration in java

We have a simple java project in eclipse and we have migrated package name for an already existing source code. Is there a shortcut for changing package name declarations while you are inside the code editor

Refactoring is the best way, however be wary of changing package names if your source is under version control. I've had all sorts of conflict, update issues with changing package names because of the sequence of commits done (to SVN). It does work, just can be tricky to get everything commited correctly and the repository and working directory correctly in sync.

Just select your package and press-hold the Alt-Shift-R keys. Alternatively, you can select your package, right click it and select Refactor -> Rename.

Hope this helps.

When you change the structure of a project, eclipse prompts you to update the references. If you allow eclipse, it will do it automatically. Now, you can perform a Find & Replace operation to manually update you package names.

Select the package name, and use Refactor -> Rename (Shift+Alt+R) to open the Rename Package dialog
