[jdt-ui-dev] Subclassing NewTypeWizardPage

[Scott <other+eclipse@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone.
I wanted to create my own type creation wizard and ran into a snag with 
the NewTypeWizardPage class.  Why are a lot of the member methods 
private?

For example, I want to add an annotation to the type at the time of 
creation.  (eg @Annotation\n public class ...), but constructTypeStub, 
which creates the type signature is private.  I can work around this by 
appending the annotation to the end of the comment generated by 
getTypeComment(), but with this method I don't have an ImportsManager to 
specify the appropriate annotation type.

Is there a good reason to keep this method private?

Thanks,
-Scott
