I remember that in earlier Eclipse version the quick assist to assign a parameter to a new field from a constructor made the new field final.

I think this is good practice because it eases the implementation of immutable types.

Since Eclipse 3.8/4.2 the final is missing when executing the assign to new field quick fix.

Please bring it back ;)
