I could look around. What version of Eclipse are you using?

I just tried it in IDEA and it is *obscenely* easy. You just select 
file(s), right-click, and select "Refactor->Move...". It then prompts 
you with a list of all of the existing packages. I could probably do it 
in a little over a minute.

It shouldn't be too difficult, however, to do it with a global 
search-replace. You'd need to do four of them:
  search for "package core" and replace with "package org.jsynthlib"
  search for "import core" and replace with "import org.jsynthlib"
  search for "package synthdrivers" and replace with "package synthdrivers"
  search for "import synthdrivers" and replace with "import 
org.jsynthlib.synthdrivers"

Then, drag all files and folders "core/" into "org/jsynthlib/" and drag 
the synthdrivers/ directory into "org/jsynthlib/" as well. That would 
get you 90% of the way there. The nice thing about it is that it should 
work for stuff with text *after* it. For example "package 
synthdrivers.Alesis5M" would also get turned into "package 
org.jsynthlib.synthdrivers.Alesis5M", etc.
