GWT, Eclipse, UIBinder template and DataGrid

I have Eclipse with GWT Designer installed. When I open an UIBinder template in Design View, and place a DataGrid onto a panel, I cannot configure columns, because there are no column widgets (like TextColumn) on a widget palette in the "Cell Widgets" category. When I use Java template instead of UIBinder template for my view, everything is fine, and I can configure DataGrid widget by adding columns of different types as they appear on the widget palette. Is it something wrong with my Eclipse installation, or it is an expected behavior?

What you are doing is the right way you can only define the widget Data Grid in the ui-binder but you have to populate columns and its data using the java counterpart. Data grid is meant to be a grid that displays data that is retrieved dynamically and so the columns have to be added according to the needs. If you can have a look at the gwt-showcase here example of data grid you might get an idea of using it using Data Provider.
