Implement an Interface for multiple classes in Eclipse Java

I have a large number of classes and an interface. All I want to do it select all of the classes and add "implements " to each of them without having to do it manually. Is this possible?

that is ALL I want to do, simply add the implementation

Use search and Replace all feature for this project in eclipse.

EDIT A very basic replace is like this search (ctrl+H and select File Search make sure regex is checked. Also you can search only this project with .java files) for all occurrence of the following regex (public class+ \w+\s+) Click replace button (shown in File Search or in search results) and enter the following string to replace $1 implements myinterface Basically The regex (public class+ \w+\s+) value is captured in $1. this might not work in cases where there are inner classes etc You might need to import this interface to prevent any compiler errors.(may be one more regex :)

Note: make sure you use the 'preview' option before you replace all occurrence in 'Replace text matches window'
