I want to add our company's copyright information to all of our EXISTING source code files.

The project is developed in Eclipse. so, for new files I can modify the settings as suggested here. But for existing files, how am I supposed to do this. How can I modify hundreds of java files to add the copyright information. (And I'm unable to open the releng plugin mentioned in the above link.

Any windows based text maniputaion scripting language will also help.
