Eclipse - generated method parameters final

Can Eclipse make parameters for generated methods (overwriting, implementing interface, etc.) final. If yes - how? If I'm not mistaken, then IntelliJ had an option for it.

Build Eclipse Java Project from Command Line

Is there a way to compile an Eclipse-based Java project from the command line? I'm trying to automate my build (using FinalBuilder not ant), and I'm neither a Java nor Eclipse expert.

While I know how I would add them individually, this lead me to the ...
