Requested by: Wim Jongman

Sometimes it is required to change an object that cannot be morphed. For example, change a checkboxtableviewer to a checkboxtreeviewer. The procedure is to remove the first and introduce the latter. However, SWT-Designer removes all references to the first viewer in the source. A viewer with the same name is introduced moments later so the code must be introduced again which can be quite difficult.

In the code there could be references to the viewer like 

viewer.getSelection();

I would like to have an option in SWT-Designer to not remove the references to the removed viewer, just like the message: 

"Also remove provider definitions"
