This is for a java project, but the same concept can be applied more generally:

Basically, I have a projects with all *.java files located in some sub directory of src. Now I want to grab all directories with the name test in that directory tree and move them into a new directory called tests, e.g.:

src->com->a1
          -> A.java
          -> B.java
          -> test
              -> test1.java
              -> test2.java

to

src->com->a1
          -> A.java
          -> B.java
tests->com->a1->test
                -> test1.java
                -> test2.java

How would I best do that?
