And, Stefan, note that "this" is final in the method, but members of 
"this" are not, of course.  Much the same way as in this example:

public final class Demo {

   public int counter;

   public static void main(String[] args) {
     final Demo d = new Demo();
     System.out.println(d.counter); // prints 0

     new Runnable() {
       @Override
       public void run() {
         ++d.counter;
       }
     }.run();

     System.out.println(d.counter); // prints 1
   }

}

Kind regards

	robert
