I have the following content in my plugin.xml that I receive from an external vendor. As you can see, I would be able to see two different views by the name Risk Details and Ranking Details.

I am interested in changing the text to a different one, say, My Risk Details and My Ranking Details.

Also, I would be receiving the same jar file ( which contains the plugin.xml ) as and when a bug fix is delivered by the external vendor.

What is the best way of dealing with such scenario?.

What I have on my mind: Manually extract the content of the jar file, update the plugin.xml and finally zip it back and rename the zip file to jar file again, and add it to our build system. But this is quite tedious and error prone. In the event that I miss this manual update, things would revert back to the default settings.

   <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
      <view
            name="Ghi"
            icon="icons/application_Ghi_16.png"
            class="com.abc.def.GhiHeaderView"
            id="com.abc.def.GhiHeaderView">
      </view>
      <view
            name="Risk Details"
            icon="icons/application_Ghi_16.png"
            class="com.abc.def.GhiRiskView"
            id="com.abc.def.GhiRiskView">
      </view>
      <view
            name="Ranking Details"
            icon="icons/application_Ghi_16.png"
            class="com.abc.def.GhiRankingView"
            id="com.abc.def.GhiRankingView">
      </view>
   </extension>

Request you to share some pointers on what can be done to improve this process.

Thanks, Pavan.
