Hi
My Goal:
Develop a plugin for Eclipse, this plugin has a dependeny on "plugin
X"

My Problem:
Some of features is not provided in the extension points of "plugin
X"

I'm curious:
I can achieve some of my targets via modifying the source code of
"plugin X" and re-publish "plugin X"
I know it's not a good practice

But what're the disadvantages of modifying source code directly?

Thanks

Xing Yun
