When running wsdl2java from the command line, the user can specify the -u parameter, which unpacks all the databinding classes to separate .java files. This serves two purposes:
1: It keeps Eclipse from locking up due to a gimongous source file eating up all the memory
2: It makes tracking the flow of nested elements MUCH easier.

Unfortunately, the web service client generation panels seem to be missing this option. Therefore I have gotten 14+ megabyte 'stub' classes which are impossible to manage correctly. 

The correct fix for this is adding the -u functionality, already available on the command line, to Eclipse's invocation of wsdl2java.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a web service client (file->new->web service client)
2. Point Eclipse to your WSDL.
3. Look in dismay as a 20 megabyte .java file causes Eclipse to slow to a crawl.
