Koen Aers commented on JBIDE-17476:
-----------------------------------

I have seen this but I don't understand fully why this has to be done using an extension point. Wouldn't it be enough to use preferences to do this? Extension points and their related API need to be exposed very carefully. It commits us to a period of at least five years of support after going in production.
