Since javax.* packages have been replaced with Jakarta.* packages in the latest release of spring 6 and hibernate I am facing a bit challenge to replace all import statements related to javax.* with Jakarta.* in all files(1000s of java files) at once. I am using the latest eclipse IDE and have ubuntu OS. Right now I am replacing it manually by opening one java file at a time. Is there a way to do this at once for all files?

I think this will work.
You could use the Eclipse Transformer tool available from the Apache TomEE project here:
https://tomee.apache.org/latest/docs/jakartaee-9/eclipse-transformer.html
The README page contains instructions for building the transformer tool and documentation on how to use it.
Another alternative would be use Eclipse’s search / replace across your entire codebase; see Replace String in all files in Eclipse. However that is potentially risky; e.g. because of the possibility of making mistakes in the patterns that you use.
