I am using a few functions in my application which i want to replace with other functions (to make it backward compatible)
My question : is it possible to find & replace some specific text in all java files in a package with some tool, or do i have to do it manually on every java file? I have a LOT of java files in the package.

For eg : i want to replace 

getExternalCacheDir()

with something like 

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory + "/Android/data/<package_name>/cache/"

the IDE i’m using is Eclipse Helios. Any solutions?

    Use Search – File… in Eclipse, search for getExternalCachDir() in *.java, then right click in the Search view, choose Replace All…, enter the replacement text, and click OK.
