Hi Jack,

Basically we need extension points to let other developers extend our
plugins and add new functionality. This is why in Eclipse you can find
many extension points and build your own product on the top of Eclipse
(e.g. you can create your own editor, view, etc.).
Here http://devresource.hp.com/drc/technical_articles/ePlugIn/ind ex.jsp
you can find more info.
Some information how yo can create your own extension points you can
find here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/FAQ_How_do_I_declare_my_ow n_extension_point%3F

Hope this helps,
Jakub Jurkiewicz
