| Name | Specify the name for the new parameter. |
| Declare final | Select this option to declare the parameter final. |
| Delegate via overloading method | Select this option to keep the existing method calls unchanged.

| Remove parameter <name> no longer used | Select this checkbox to remove a parameter. |
| Use explicit return statement | This checkbox is active if the method returns a value. You can omit return keyword if it is the last return statement in the method. If you select this checkbox the keyword is returned. |

|
| Move Up/Down | Use these buttons to change the order of the parameters. |
