Michael,

well, i'm not familiar with the UML2Tools but in common, you had to 
define an event in your model (if this is not possible within the state 
machine diagram, you cann allways create the elements you need within 
the ordinary UML tree editor) and connect this with the trigger's event 
association.

An Event is a PackageableElement, so your are free to put the event into 
any package, you want.

Cheers
/Timothy
