Can't you do this in Eclipse by using a simple Find/Replace with regulare expressions? For instance: replace pattern "( |\.)_" with "\1". I didn't test it out though, so I'm not sure it will work...
Using a regular expression search and replace could do the trick... I've tried in the current Ivy code base, and I got 170 errors after 6000+ replacements. Indeed, we regularly use the underscore to distinguish attributes from variables. In the best case we have a compilation error (when the type of the variable is not compatible with the type of the attribute), in other cases we have a warning (status = status; ) and in the remaining cases we have nothing to help except the unit test and our fingers crossed :-) So I'm not in favor of this change unless we have a tool able to do the refactoring with java code knowledge, to ensure it won't introduce any problem.
