I'm working on an exercise requiring extending the "org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent" extension point. When I go through the plugin.xml gui to add this, this is not listed in the choices. What do I have to do to make this available?

Add the plugin that contributes the extension point to the required
plugins of your plugin or uncheck "Show only extension points from the
required plugins".

And which plugin contributes this extension point, and how would I determine that in general?

So I see that when I uncheck that flag you mention, this extension point shows up, along with the next one I needed to use, which was "org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer". It appears that my plugin project can still access plugins that have not been specified in the "Required Plug-ins". Can someone clearly explain what's going on here?

Not surprisingly it's org.eclipse.ui.navigator. Yes, you can register
things without requiring the plugin, but many extension points expect
you to provide classes that implement certain interfaces and to do that
you'd need to require the plugin the defines those interfaces; that's
why they aren't all shown by default, because mostly they will need to
be required to actually use the extension point...
