Hi Ben,
If it is possible for you, why don't you simply
rename/refactor the name of your pages, using some
IDE. Eclipse, IntelliJIdea do this quite decently as
well as many others.
If it is not possible to use an IDE, here are some
basic steps (untested however):
1) Use ant task ReplaceRegExp[1] to rename the
reference of the packages in your source code (for
example from
import com.oldapp.NiceClass;
to
import com.newapp.NiceClass; ) like this
<replaceregexp>
<regexp pattern="com.oldapp."/>
<substitution> expression="com.newapp."/>
<fileset dir="${project.src}">
<includes="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
</replaceregexp>
This is supposed to replace all ocurrences of
com.oldapp. to com.newapp.
2) Now after you have updated thge packages names in
your source files, you can simply rename their
directories.
I have used regular expression reqularly :)) some
months ago and now I have forgotten them, so I advice
you to check the above sample to not spoil your
sources
