Hello group,
I need some guidance on how to substitute a customized Eclipse plugin for a
build. I made some changes to the original org.eclipse.jface.databinding
plugin, and the app runs fine from Eclipse IDE, but now I need to build a
product from it.
I can think of 2 scenarios:
1. replace the original plugin in the Eclipse install directory (which means
exporting the customized plugin into a jar file), or
2. instruct the product build to use the customized plugin instead of the
one in the install directory.
I would much rather prefer option 2, but do not know if this is even
possible. An advice from someone with experience in this matter would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

First, make sure your jface.databinding has a different version from the
original. Then, the easiest way to make sure yours gets used is to base
your product on features. Then in the feature you can include the
jface.databinding plugin with a specific version instead of 0.0.0.
Note that jface.databinding is not a singleton bundle. If it was, then
it would be sufficient to have your custom version have a higher version
number and the OSGi state used by PDE/Build would then resolve the
higher version. Since it is not a singleton, both versions resolve and
you need to specify which one you want.
