I want to build a lite version of my game (Ad-Supported).
The problem is: The java package needs to be renamed so that it doesn't conflict with the full version.
I tried refactoring inside eclipse, but when you try to rename the base product package all Hell breaks loose.
So basically I am stuck altering all files by hand.

Does some-one know a short-cut I can take?

"Does some-one know a short-cut I can take?"

Perl.

SED.

Python.

Personally, I tend to write bash/sed scripts for this sort of thing.

Thanks for your reply,
I could AWK the !@#$% out of this.
But I was hoping to avoid writing a complicated build script.

What kind of hell was breaking loose when you used Eclipse to refactor it?

The Eclipse IDE should be able to refactor it with no problems. Are you renaming or refactoring? Each shortcut works a bit differently.

Refactoring should definitely work fine.

But generally speaking, you don't want to do it this way. Break out the 99% of the game code that is identical into a library project, and then create two new projects - one for your regular version and one for the free version. Trust me - you will be glad you did when you have to do maintenance on the new version. In addition, this also means that you only need to create a new package for a few files.
