Adding a page and creating its controls are two different steps.
If you want to delay the creation of a page's controls until the page is 
needed, just override
Wizard.createPageControls to not create that page. The WizardDialog will 
then create the page's 
controls just before it is made visible. Note that this may mean that the 
dialog will have to increase 
its size depending on the size of the page.

You can determine what the next page is by overriding 
WizardPage.getNextPage().
Thus you could show a new page each time next is pressed. 
I assume you truly need to create different controls each time and cannot 
simply reuse a page by updating the values and enablement of existing 
controls.
