Looks like WindowsBuilder generates code from the "older" databinding. AFAIK the current suggested approach is to use the Properties API.

For example:

IObservableValue widgetValue = WidgetProperties.text(SWT.Modify)
				.observe(firstName);
IObservableValue modelValue = BeanProperties.value(Person.class,
				"firstName").observe(person);

Would be great if WindowsBuilder could generate code based on the latest API.

Already possible via the Preference Settings.
