Creating a plugin to extend other plugin

Did you know it is possible to create a plugin to extend an existing plugin?

This is a great feature of Liferay plugins that I usually tend to forget but it has been available since 4.3. If you find a plugin that you like but you would like to modify something, you can create another plugin which extends the original one keeping your changes isolated from the original one.

I have created a wiki page explaining the steps to create a plugin which extends other plugin, feel free to add your input to the wiki page!

See you soon!
