Thank you Laurent for the answer,
but I was more interested in a more general (GUI independent) library 
(which, for example, might be reused for creating refactoring plugins for 
different IDE/editors)
but then ANTLR is not what I am loking for, or is it ?

Another way to phrase my question::
If my goal is to be able to parse/modify source code, with easy-to-use-methods 
(for renaming operations) as I described in my original question, then there is 
no point of learning ANTLR since that is not going to help me ?

/ Tom

Sun's Jackpot offers an API for doing that. But it seems designed to
run as a NetBeans plugin. If you need to apply your changes as a kind
of batch in a headless environnment, fooling NetBeans could become a
hard job. If you need a fine customization of the renaming, Jackpot
looks ok for you.
