[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-138?page=comments#action_71043 ] Trygve Laugstol commented on MECLIPSE-138: ------------------------------------------

Another alternative is to move the functionality you need out of the core plugin and re-use that in another plugin. > Design Plugin classes for extension > ----------------------------------- > > Key: MECLIPSE-138 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-138 > Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.3 > Reporter: Andrew Perepelytsya > > Please, replace all private access and methods in plugin classes with > protected.
