netbeans-setting generated code public

my concern regards the netbeans generated code when using the netbeans drag-drop feature for creating GUI based apps. Netbeans generates all the eventhandling methods as private or protected. netbeans generated code is not editable but i need the methods to be public. Anyone who's familiar with this feature plz help me out.
