Eclipse is plugin based platform ...
So this means that every plugin must be able and free to contribute to the
platform. If my plugin does not support copy/paste but yours do then the
platform show be able to "enable" copy/paste for you plugin and "disable"
it for my. So there should not be a thing like "global disable".

So to achive you goal you should consider building a RCP application and
branding a product.

and
