script to edit the eclipse java project ".project" and ".classpath" files

[taskmgmt2]

I am new to linux scripts. Could some one help me to edit the eclipse java project' ".classpath" and ".project" files using script (regular expressions). The existing ".project" file content follows.

---------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
<name>component_template</name>
<comment></comment>
<projects>
</projects>
<buildSpec>
<buildCommand>
<name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
</buildSpec>
<natures>
<nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
</natures>
</projectDescription>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to change the <name> element value from "component_template" to
"xyz".
