You cannot easily replace the Java rename action, but luckily, you don't 
have to.

Take a look at the org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.renameParticipants 
extension point. There, you can contribute a rename participant that can 
add your changes to the existing refactoring (for elements of type 
org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaProject).
