After hand writing lot of complex UI for our SWT application (basically a eclipse plugin), I found out this excellent tool (Window Builder Pro) and it reduces our lot of hand writing UI effort. So I am evaluating it to use for all of our future development, so my question is it possible to generate event handlers (eg SelectionListener) in separate class in custom package?

I tried in preferences dialolg (Window -> Preferences -> WindowBuilder -> SWT -> Code Generation -> Event Handlers) and found 3 options:

Create anonymous class
Create inner class
Implement listener interface in parent class
So there is no option to create in separate class. My idea is to have a separate package like (com.test.app.newprojectwizard.handlers) and in that package I will have class like NewProjectWizardHandlers.java which implements corresponding interface and will have event methods which take care of handling events. Similarly I will have handlers for various UI pages so that UI creating will be separated from event handler.

So is there anyway to implement same in WindowBuilder Pro ? or should I stick with above 3 options provided by WindowBuilder?
