detecting mode of gwt designer (design mode or runtime)

Question

Is it possible to detect if a ui binder template is being generated in eclipse by the GWT Designer or being generated at runtime mode?

I would like to create a ui to display an data object and thus need to be able to generate one when running in eclipse.

You can use Beans.isDesignTime().
