I normally use microEmacs, which can do almost that:

me org/gregorie/newproject/*.java

Then tell it once only what I want it to replace and what with just once 
and it works through all the files. I've never discovered a limit to the 
number of files it can load. As a bonus the search term can be a regex.

Since I also write a lot of C and lesser amounts of bash and gawk, I 
suspect I'd be stuck with Eclipse since I really wouldn't want to learn a 
different IDE for each language. the other thing I didn't much like about 
any of the IDEs I've used is the necessity to use the mouse frequently, 
which I find slows me down a lot, while working the way I do, I don't 
need to touch it unless I need to switch console windows and, when it 
comes to repeating one or more commands, scrolling/searching up with bash 
and then hitting RETURN is faster and less of an interruption than having 
to grab a mouse. But, as I said, its just another case of horses for 
courses.
