Is it possible to rename a package in generated files? If I use the Intellij rename action it renames the directory but the files inside it still have the old package.

Use case: The package is generated from an openAPI spec and I would like to change the package name in the openapi-generator-maven-plugin config. But doing that would just generate the files with the new package name but not correct the existing usages! For that, I would like to utilize the Intellij rename action as a first step. Perhaps this is a X/Y problem, though, and there might be a different way to achieve what I want.

First to a move package refactoring (make sure intellij recognizes the directory as being part of the sources), then update the maven plugin config.

Yes, that's exactly what I've been trying. But even though the directory is marked as sources root the rename package action doesn't work as described above.

Hmm, you might just need to do a search/replace then.
