Pretty much.

You can use File->Import...Plug-in Development->Plug-ins and Fragments.
Be sure to change "Import As" to "Projects with source folders". Locate
the bundle you want to import; the filter is handy. This should produce
a project in your workspace with the source (as attached) for that
bundle. There can you make changes. If you launch a runtime Eclipse
development environment, your changed version of the bundle should be
active there.
You can use File->Export...->Plug-in Development->Deployable plug-ins
and fragments to package it up and put it in the drop-ins folder of your
Eclipse IDE installation so that it overrides the installed one; you
might have to increment the service version number.
