What is the best way to override resources in a plug-in? [message #526225]

Several big boy customers would like to essentially rebrand some of the
images and translation strings in our plug-ins. What's the best way
that others are using to achieve this?

While it is trivial to create a class that they can call that would look
in several places for the resources, I don't see how we could affect the
registry. Basically views, commands and editors will be processed by
the workbench before we have a chance to substitute their values if needed.

Normally this kind of things is done via fragment bundles.
See this (somewhat old but still correct) article on eclipse.org:
