If a plug-in "A" provides an extension-point "x". And two other plug-ins
"B" and "C" both provide an extension, "bx" and "cx" respectively, to the
extension-point "x". Then is there a way for plug-in "A" to prefer the
extension of "B" over the extension of "C" ?
Or is there a way for one extension to suppress the other extension to the
same extension-point?
This is especially interesting when "B" was provided by one vendor and "C"
was provided by another vendor. Both plug-ins are competing for usage by
"A" to support a single function.
Maybe, I am misunderstanding the purpose of extensions.
any guidance will be appreciated.
thanks,
shyjee

The policy lies directly with the publisher of the extension point.
If you read FAQ 87, "How do I find all the plug−ins that
contribute to my extension point?", in Chapter 4 at http://eclipsefaq.org,
you will see how you can pick and choose which extensions to turn into
an executable extension, and which ones to ignore.
