Binding to the selection property of CDateTime [message #1239845]

WindowBuilder does not list the selection property of CDateTime (the custom DateTime widget of Nebula) among the properties to be bound.

I have been able to bind to this property by writing in the code
IObservableValue MyWidgetObservableValue = new CDateTimeObservableValue(MyCDateTimeWidget);

Here the class CDateTimeObservableValue is contained in the library
org.eclipse.nebula.jface.cdatetime_0.14.0.201401291008.jar
which needs to be added to the build path.

WindowBuilder parsed this code without complaint but did not list this binding in its list of Bound Properties in the Bindings tab.

Is there any way to get WindowBuilder create such binding?

Many thanks for any tip.

Unlike JavaBean properties that can be determined via reflection, knowledge of various Data Binding capabilities needs to be built into the tool itself. WB knows about the standard Data Binding interfaces for the standard SWT widgets. It does not know anything about any special Data Binding interfaces provided by Nebula. Either the WB Nebula or Data Binding plugin (or both?) would need to be updated with this knowledge.
