[news.eclipse.technology] Modifying soruce code Vs. Using the extension point 
Hi
 My Goal:
        Develop a plugin for Eclipse, this plugin has a dependeny on "plugin 
X"

My Problem:
        Some of features is not provided in the extension points of "plugin 
X"

I'm curious:
        I can achieve some of my targets via modifying the source code of 
"plugin X" and re-publish "plugin X"
        I know it's not a good practice

        But what're the disadvantages of modifying source code directly?

Thanks
